I’m probably only going to use it for NPCs (if I end up using it at all). I thought about making a procedural/automated system, but I think making them manually is better, because I’ll have more […]

Notice how the snow doesn’t cover some rocks and grass blades and the sharper and more textured material transitions. I used 3 layers controlled by the red vertex color channel (0.0 […]

I gathered a lot of reference and replayed and reviewed old screenshots of games with an art style matching what I want, mainly Titanfall 2, Doom 2016, […]
