Quick (rough) preview of the water islands...
🕑 Added 2021-11-12 17:19:54 +0000 UTCSo guys! I've been busy grinding away at the bulk of the tiles, getting them all prepped for textures and rocks and other fun stuff, but at the same time planning some stuff for the next stage!
This image is a VERY rough example of one of my current plans for the water island tiles that will sit in the middle of rivers or off the coast/in a lake....
The idea is to make them rocky (and therefore modular, things like bushes and grass mean it wont work in a cave), and have just enough poking out of the water to have a good fight on.
Plan 1 involves plaster rocks as you can see, but the tile will be deeper and there will be modelling compound earth beneath the rocks, which you should be able to see through the water and should give further depth illusion to the whole length of the water feature (which for the most part, will have much shallower resin!)
Plan 2 is very much the same but involves using real rocks, which gives a nice varied appearance to the islands and means they don't look too similar :)
To everyone new (and old, for that matter) thank you SO much for the support! I've seen a lot of new people joining and this is great news for the channel, I'm actually getting close to being able to wind down more of the day job - which is great news for my energy levels and creativity π
Speaking of recovering energy levels, I hope you guys have a great weekend, and I can't wait to show you more!

Nice to hear that the support is growing, bet the last video gave a good boost! Those ripple effects still look gorgeous and I'm loving the variety of tile types π Looking forward to hearing more about those resin-saving trickeries you've got going on :)
