Wonderful progress @langleyjij! I’m very impressed with how accurately you’re matching each rock to the art. You’ve earned full points + some extra from me 👍
I’m conflicted about the advice I’m going to give you. I never anticipated each rock to match 100%. If I were doing the rocks, I would create about 3-5 variations and duplicate them around as needed to match closely enough. This way creating a limited number + smart duplication is a much more efficient that modeling + sculpting + texturing each rock individually.
But of course your way is most authentic to the art…still for the sake of texture space and geometry savings, I think I have to be Mr. Buzzkill and recommend you go with a library of 3-5 rocks to be duplicated around. Maybe 2 of the rocks can match the most recognizable from the art and the other 3 can be more generic?
