Modelling - environment - graveyard

Unhide ground layer - create new plane - align with ground plane (upper level)

Create grass material

Use grass bitmap - apply to diffuse

Copy grass bitmap - apply to RGB filter (desaturate all colour) - apply to bump - increase bump size

Apply hair and fur modifier

Create short, sharp blade of grass with dark green texture

Adjusting and testing grass modifier settings

Grass testing 

Doubled created grass

Create layer new put new glass geometry in

Add new reference planes via copy

Adjust uvw map position to align extra reference images to scene

Extend wall geometry same method as steps

Align with view

Add extra geometry to ground plane to allow for geometry to trace outline of outer wall - highlight polygons and detach

Ground needs to be aligned to follow contours of grave yard grass

Screen shot shows alignment - delete created grass

Delete or hide grass plane previously created

Select edge of aligned geometry - shift drag to extend geometry - use connect to add more geometry to create grid

Apply previously used grass bitmap - apply uvw map - box

Highlight strip of geometry to be used as pathway

Vertex mode - alter vertices positions to curve path as required

Detach path geometry

Apply turbo smooth

Enter wireframe mode

Turn off soft select in vertices mode - alter settings to create required radius and falloff (soft selection allows for more organic modelling by creating radial selection around single selected vertex which gradual associated movement.

Radial effect overlaps (intersects) which can allow for different shapes to be create via selection method i.e. screen shot shows row of vertices being elected

Create graveyard area geometry (used photos for reference)

Create box - place inside graveyard - adjust size accordingly

Enter isolation mode - select top polygon - inset - extrude - repeat to create shown effect

Final inset extrude vastly to create pillar (column)

Use connect to add two lines of geometry to split vertical pillar - select opposing newly created polygons to extrude to create cross

Exit isolation mode - check positioning and size - adjust if required

Create box flattern (create wide and narrow box) - use connect to add height geometry loop - apply slide to lower - Select opposing polygons on wide sides - extrude

Select top edges (depth edges) apply chamfer

Extrude base out on sides as shown

Create line - turn on snap tool (grid snap) - draw out simple cross as shown - when finished drawing select close spline yes

Select cross base - right click - smooth - drag upwards (turn off grid snap if necessary)

Convert to editable poly - extrude

select bottom polygon - extrude slightly - elect sides of new extended base - extrude as group outwards
