04About this texture

The leaves come in coral, tangerine and butter yellow, and the darker soil peeks through the gaps. Three layers mean leaves overlap the way they do after a windy week, which the height and AO maps pick up as small steps and soft contact shadows. It shares its soil base with Cozy Soil, so a path can fade from bare earth into leaf litter. Autumn forests, Halloween maps, park paths in October and camp sites with a lantern and a woodpile are good matches.

Good for

  • Autumn forests and Halloween maps
  • Camp sites and woodland clearings
  • Leaf covered park paths

Questions and answers

Can the leaves fade into bare soil?

Yes. Cozy Soil uses the same soil and the same 1 × 1 m tile size, so a blend mask in a terrain shader moves from leaves to earth without a hard edge.

Is there a summer version without leaves?

Not as a separate texture. For green seasons use Cozy Grass or Cozy Soil, both are part of the same ground set.
