Now that July has passed I am happy to share the results of the Beyond Extent Team Challenge I had the pleasure to participate in, entitled Nightmare Garden. Our team took an approach on a mushroom nightmare that overgrows the ruined remains of a chapel.
For this challenge I had the task of creating the grass all around the scene and lillypads on the water surface and to add variety I also made a few weeds. I made everything in Blender to begin with, modelling and sculpting for extra details and then textured in Substance Painter. To create variations and put together the grass cards and clumps I used SpeedTree, making originally a small clump of grass from which I derived the cards from SpeedTree itself and then reimported them to make the grass card mesh.
Below is my wonder team that made this all come together to the creepy garden we all envisioned at that first meeting :) :
