I've been sick the past week but managed to work on this scene a bit this weekend, working on small props/foliage and starting on the cell!

Ah I see yeah might be worth just keeping them as solid shapes for that angle ๐Ÿ˜ then maybe you can use the curved versions at angles where it's more noticeable

Definetly more interesting! I'd maybe look at the edge wear when it comes to your second pass and not sure if the normals are making this mesh look concave but I'd maybe take a look at it when it comes to a second pass too, looking good though ๐Ÿ˜

The environment is inspired by the undead asylum from dark souls 1 so it would be an inhabitant, I'm planning on making a cell which would of housed them
