Natural textures

This week, my primary assignment was to work on textures, most of which were natural materials, i.e. dirt, grass, rock, sand, etc. These proved a bit of a challenge on account of the fact that I just couldn't figure out how to paint those materials. So I came up with a method to turn a photograph into something that matches our style more closely. I feel satisfied with the result, although it does feel a bit like cheating. Additionally, I discussed AI algorithms with one of the programmers, and how it interacts with level design.
