Modular Rock Feedback
Hey, just made some rock sculpts and baked down some textures today, wanted to get some feedback on them. I feel like they are missing something.....not sure what. Any criticisms are welcome and very appreciated. EDIT: References: -
Re: Modular Rock Feedback
I'm not an expert by any means, but it seems to me they're just too generic. Modular pieces can still have detail.

I baked out a few AO maps, and combined them in photoshop as overlays (I know my UV islands suck): Anyways, I'm a bit stuck on where to go next. I am currently using… -
