I decided to develop on the rocks I modelled and textured last year. Using the same techniques as my Toro texturing process, I gradually built up moss using masks and a low opacity brush in photoshop. I also laid out the rock UVs again, so I could have a larger boulder alongside smaller rock formations.

 |
| I used a photo of a cave entrance as the reference for my own cave model. I used the draw tool to create a curve tracing the edge of the cave entrance. I then created a polygon from the curve and adjusted the topology into an uneven rocky surface. |

| Above, I created an outer surface to act as a cave opening. |

| I used 'soft select' to grab areas of vertices and move them into an uneven rocky surface. |
