So basically I just laid out the floating islands and began playing with the foliage brush. So far I think it works quite well but I'm looking forward to getting all the other meshes that people have made for me in just to add some difference to the environment. I also need to add more of the trees when one of the artists is done with it. I get the feeling that texturing is going to be difficult as guiding people towards a certain style is much harder than I first anticipated and it's quite strenuous on me as I've agreed to make far more textures than I initially decided to do, just to be sure that people know what kind of style they're going for. But oh well, I suppose every director gets that at some point in their projects!
Thanks for reading :)
