I've returned to working on a desert terrain set. After shifting last year to focus on substance application for props the terrain concept kind of got left in the dust. Thus I've returned to the first sand prototype I made. Converted the footprints I made for my snow system to apply to my terrain kit. Just some simple tile samplers, made use of color inputs for alpha control.
I'm not sure if this warrants a whole post or not so this may get migrated to the final terrain post, but for now I want to share the progress.
