Forest Creek (WIP)
polycounter lvl 3
My first attempt at a nature scene. Still in the blocking stage and for some reason I can't get the composition to look right and match the reference. Feedback extremely needed and greatly appreciated

Landscape in games typically mixes two main techniques... height-map terrain on a grid (like what you have so far) and 3D prop models for rocks, low plants, grass, fallen logs/sticks, etc.
The terrain can be mapped with tiled textures, which you blend together with a painted mask (which could use either vertex color, or pixels). So break down your scene into 3 or 4 sets of tiled texture sets, which you can blend together. In your case probably these can be: dirt, moss, leaves, pebbles.
You can learn about how it's done in Unreal here
