Substance Designer: Tranquil

So I've been working on doing a couple of Inktober prompts in Substance this month. Here is the completed 1st one. Tranquil. Critique and comments welcome as always, this thing can always be improved!

Looks good! I'd say the rake pattern in the sand shouldn't follow the shape of the grass islands.

Hey @Ashervisalis thanks! Yea I kept going back and forth on that as some of the references for gardens like these sometimes had all straight raking some had this kind of blend of following islands with a directional rake in the centers and some had that thing where all they do is rake around the islands endlessly until it kind of forms together into this giant spiraling shape. I do intend to revisit this so maybe Ill put a couple of switches in to allow a change in the raking pattern. 

Which in turn would be more of a challenge to execute in the end so thank you for the springboard!

A couple of updates on this, changed the method of blending in the moss detail and added in a multi-switch to allow for different sand patterns in the material.
