Hey! For those mossy veins you can play a bit with a subtle normal map to hide the seams—think of it as letting the leaf whisper its own story. Blend a high‑resolution moss texture into the base layer, but keep the UV islands small and close together; that way the seams run along the less noticeable edges. Add a little roughness variation so the moss looks different in each crack. If you’re using a game engine, a tiny displacement map will lift the moss a touch and break up any obvious seam lines. And remember, a tiny amount of ambient occlusion on the crevices really pulls the detail in without making the whole leaf look flat. Happy unwrapping!

Thanks for the solid pointers! I’ll keep the UV islands snug and the texel density steady, and bake that normal from a displaced model—makes the moss feel alive instead of just a trick. I’ll also make the roughness tweaks gentle so the symmetry stays intact. Cheers for the tip, and enjoy your own fern projects!
