            Hello, here you are three boulders one tree and seamless Asturian grass texture.
            The rock texture is seamless. It is made of a photograph near the Cantabrian sea, near my home.

              Looking for a good workflow for creating a stacked limestone wall. Any ideas would be helpful. I started off with basic shape as rectangle. Is there a ruby script to select and make square somewhat irregular at the edges?

              Stone in background was done by fillet block ruby and then subdivided for editing by scaling.

                Just thought I'd add that the boulder techniques can be used to create landscapes too...

                I attach an old quickie I made using Alan's trike and boy from Formfonts. The big rock is a very low poly model with a large texture image applied to it.

                Regards, Ross

                          David,

                          I see you are getting into sub-smooth, there are a few new tools like 'UV tools' that can map your textures pretty well these days in SU.
                          If you use bumps and/or displacement you can create some really cool rock textures too.
                          I saw on another thread you enquiring about flower beds, Clipmaps will work on one view only (unless you are up to moving each on individually as 'face me' will not suffice)so I suggest modeling some low poly flowers (mapping the textures right) and using them as components.

                          Here is a basic idea of different rock textures and some plants arranged as a rock bed. Rendered with Vue 6 xstream.

                              Thanks solo. . .as usual. . .I think I have UV tools. .. I just don't know what to do with them. . .I guess I need to play around with thos alittle bit more. I have so many rubies in my files it's hard to keep track of them all.
                              Thanks for you input on the flower beds too.

                              EDIT p.s. I do have UV tools. .. .I have no idea what it does. . . 😳

                                      I thought I'd add a collection of boulders I made a while back. They could use some retexturing, but the shapes are there. I used FFD on a sphere.
