Hey peoples!
During a tutorial I found that in some cases, it is actually better (and faster) to use physical detail than it is to use textures.
It works a bit like this:
____________________________________________________small object------>------>------>------>------>------>---Big object
physical>physical>physical<mix>texture>texture>texture
So when you are doing something like trees or bushes, try physical detail first and see if that works for you.
Here is a mix of physical detail and textures:
Porch area of a very cubey house, showing that you can even mix the two methods in a single piece to show different plants, and, as an added bonus in this specific part of the book, I also show you how to trim hedges to specific shapes! So simple you are gonna luv it!
Just for clarification:
- Physical detail:
- Hedge around the corner of the house
- Pot plant next to the door
- Textures
- Pretty much the whole concrete tile area is textured, especially the big bushes and the in-between-the-tiles grasses
Have a great one!!
Thank YOU!!!!!!!!
