Gaea sketches and research
Anyone who knows me, knows I spend a lot of time in Gaea coming up with new ideas and techniques. Trying to push towards better methods and to problem solve artistic issues in terrain creation. Here's some of the work I've done in the past few months.. obviously there is a lot more than this, but these show where my brain has been. I've especially enjoyed recently creating bricks, tiles and cliff faces. The texturing side of Gaea that people don't realize it's capable of. Just like Substance, it has a lot of the same features for those who look ;)
playing with the blending or rock in desert dunes
Attempting to get a process for making Moraines in glacial runnoff.
Just a beach sketch for fun
Referencing google earth to work out a procedural texturing method for mountain regions. This even has a town element.
Some fantasy texturing on a simple "worselands" node.
An island system which uses the island node to create an island randomly.
I like to work on rock collections. Creating different types and sizes in a single image.
New method for creating terrain folds that provide a way to colour them easily.
following a reference to try to work out how to construct something similar, turned out pretty well.
Just some basalt beach rocks. The crumbly semi sharp nature of them was fun.
just another grassy cliff.
Working out methods for Cliff texturing
More rock collections.
yes, you can do bricks and floor tiles and just about anything in Gaea.
Illustrative render of a Sandstone cliff. I wanted to be a bit more artistic with this one.
More cliff face research.
This was just fun. A real short build that has a neat greeble look to it.
Pushing towards more realism for procedural generation of cliffs.
This is the same cliff as the previous image, but using mutation I created more to help build the sides of the cliff and meshed and merged them for a real 3D asset.
