Critique Request: A Tree and A Cave

vong_pha · Nov 2018

Hey Polycount,

I wrapped up a personal project with the goal of understanding tools and fleshing out pipelines for modular organic assets. Coming from a stylized, handpainted background I also really wanted to get more in touch with realistic workflows.

Any feedback welcomed, but I would really love any advice on how to improve leaf and branch textures for future projects.

Thanks!

Looks cool. I think I'd need to see your dense foliage from above before providing any further critique.

The thing which pops out to me the most is all the grass has this V shape, where multiple stalks are coming from the same origin. Of course, this is me thinking 'grass', but it might actually be a certain type of grass I don't know about :P It would look cool if gravity affected the leaves a bit more. Other than that it looks cool to me!
