Low ground cover is dirt and soil and the smallest plants and grasses. After a base layer of Blended Turf, add Fine Turf to
blend in additional colors for realism. Turf colors should be subtly blended together as they are in nature.

Fine Turf

Fine Turf Colors
Burnt Grass – Add highlights to Blended Turf and model drier areas.
Soil and Earth – Use for modeling weeds, paths, dirt roads, streambeds,
eroded areas, drainage ditches, etc.
Yellow Grass – Model areas that do not get a lot of water or sprinkle lightly on
top of Turf to add sundrenched look.
Medium ground cover is low grasses, leaves and weeds. It is the natural rise and fall of plants that are different sizes,
shapes and colors and growing in random patterns. This section also includes Talus or rock debris. Landscape materials
start to overlap.

Talus
Talus is rock debris that collects beneath cliffs, around base of mountains,
in erosion ruts and at base of rock outcroppings.

outcroppings and cliffs, around tunnel portals, and in creek beds and
drainage ditches.
