Something of a Maze
Rock Placement
I just thought I would add a small post about rock placement.
I have tried to angle the rock formations so that the majority of them do not run parallel to the layout edges. I have tried to add them at slight angles for the most part.
My reasoning for this is that straight lines look less natural, so when I see straight lines running parallel with the table edge, my brain automatically sees it as looking a bit off.
With the rocks at a slight angle, I find it helped confuse my brain a bit and makes the whole layout feel a lot less manufactured. I think that this will add a lot to make the whole ‘it’s a maze’ feel a bit more confusing and harder to work out direct paths.
I have also tried to add the rocks in such a way that they create pathways between them, which can be changed up by simply rotating or moving different tiles around.
Angling the rocks has allowed me to position different tiles next to each other in some interesting ways to create openings.
By going up to the edges on some, it has also allowed me to create some more solid, impenetrable walls.
I will use a similar methodology when it comes to placing the bushes, trees and other elements so that hopefully when it all comes together, it helps to create a maze-like feel.
