1. I looked at the tiling from a new perspective and thought about modelling low poly tiles that can be duplicated.
2. Made a tile compatible dirt texture using my own photos to create the floor for the tiles to lay on top.
3. I decided to darken the soil texture because it looked too dry and managed to UV map and texture tiles. I made 5 types of tile x2 different textures so I can play around with positioning the tiles. The unreal scale made it a lot easier because the pivot was flexible to rotate and move. (hint* to make the gaps I made the tile slightly smaller then the grid and position the pivot to the grid)

4. started to get excited with normal maps (went off to create the basics and rushed into normal maps that still seemed a little off. I might go back to them)
5. The one normal map I felt all right about but I can still change it later on. This is the setting I did in NDO to get it to look like this.
6. Modelled a few holes to make it look like the holes had been eroded by weather effect. The first render looked too … plain, so I added a few more out of place tiles that had been dislodges by wind and rain. (there are dark lines in the dirt texture because I found out later that I didn’t tick the canvas option in NDO normal maps at the start, so the texture edges picked up light *face palm)
7. Started to do the normal map with the tiled wall texture and came to realise that I hadn’t done all the basics first before final touches. I am still a little unhappy about the normal maps so I will come back to them at a later date.
