SGK73 - Thanks for the suggestions. I tend to play with a fairly close in camera angle, so I didn't think about the flat area being visible. I'll keep that in mind for the next one.
NWN DM - I'm glad you can make use of it. It's small because it's part of a mini mod I'm making, just a simple encounter really, so not much of an area is needed. _________________________ Jezla

Agree on comments about small size of the area... would have been great if 14x14 or so.
That said, this is one area that I don't have to make on my own, and will see use somewhere in my Greyhawk Adventures 2 - Northern Ulek series of campaign modules.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll compress the file and update it; I got in a bit of a rush to upload it.
About the path: It actually is made up of both mud textures, and was originally cobbles. I didn't like the look of the cobbles and went to rocky textures. That still didn't look rustic enoug, so I swapped the mud. Water puddles would have been nice too, but by that time all the placeables were down and I didn't want to re-mold the terrain.
Thanks for the vote! _________________________ Jezla

Well, looks like I'm the first to download this file and vote for it. Just for convenience, try to Zip your files next time. As it's only 10Mb in an erf, it'd much faster to download in future using Winrar or 7z.
Concerning the area, you've done a great job indeed. Though I would not recommend it using it in a PW as its smallness does not aid the size of the PW. Exterior areas use a lot of resources and that is why usage of exterior areas should be
extended to its limits. But that is not important here, more preferably your work.
Your textures and grasses have been applied in a correct and beautiful way. I really like the atmosphere used in this area. I would suggest using some mud patch to interrupt the 'perfectness' of the path. Aside from that I'd say you have excellently added the atmosphere, that is why it is hard to comment on such areas of this particular size.
I think this area is well crafted and deserves an 8,5. Though the area is too small to vote such high scores. Would a whole area e.g. size 16x16 be crafted with such excellence I'd recommend this area to anyone. Continue your work and I hope to see more areas of yours!
Yours sincerely,
Over My Head
