UV mapped my sign...I feel like I might have to redo it. The textures might be too low res once applied....I'll have to look into the texel density.

Progress on my abandoned motel! Currently working on painting my landscape. I found a really great tutorial for concealing the landscape tiling by utilizing perlin noise, pixel depth, lerp node, and macro varation. Im also working on making more foliage and creating decals to use in unreal. ​​
​
​
I made it so the terrain becomes more detailed and higher color contrast the closer you are, and the inverse when further away.​
​​
This is my node network for my terrain.​
