(HELP) Stylized fluffy moss

Mazzletov

Hello everyone;

I am trying to replicate this effect. The fluffy moss is painted using the foliage tool but I am not sure on how to approach this in Unreal Engine.

I tried created bloblike-meshes with an alpha but this was not as organic as in the pictures below.

I really love the stylized look of below piece. It is created by Alloart3d.

That looks great, at first i thought it was tiling textures with a mask. But I can see at the roof brick closest, that it got some kind of tesselation effect going on.

Maybe a mix of both. tiling texture + alpha cards on top to create that effect?

Also here is his answer to why it looks so good. Seems to be a nanite mesh.

You can use this technique to get somewhat close to that effect. https://polycount.com/discussion/130038/ryse-moss-tutorial/p1

Thanks for the answer!

I could try blending different alpha layers but how does he obtain an effect that blendss so nice with the surrounding rooftiles?

If I use the foliage tool for this, I create a round mesh but it does not blend nicely with its surroundings.
