I’ve never bothered with resin—real moss is a living thing, not a paint‑on. The trickiest thing I’ve built? A sloping valley where every stone has a moss patch that ages at different rates, so the whole thing feels like it’s been breathing for a thousand years. I spent days mapping out light paths so the veins glow just enough when a ray hits them at dawn, then tweaked the shader to make the shadow edges feather like a dew‑kissed leaf. The payoff is that the valley looks like a living diary rather than a rendered model. It took me three evenings, a pile of loose files, and a lot of caffeine, but the result is the only place in my world where moss and light actually talk back.

Nice idea—amber‑like stones would add a whole new texture layer. I’m not much for resin though, it feels too artificial for what I’m trying to achieve. If I did it, I’d still have to hand‑paint the cracks and let the light bite into them the way moss bites into stone. That way the stone and moss both feel like they’re part of the same breathing ecosystem. Still, I appreciate the thought—you’d be a useful ally if I ever decide to experiment with a more tangible medium.
