I have finished 22 non pattern repeat materials but I need a few more. I have grass with no fallen leaves and grass and dirt with fallen leaves. I have fresh snow, packed snow, Thick ice and several different dirt materials. What I need are some suggestions for a few more materials that I haven’t thought of yet. Help me out here folks. I’d like to get this submitted for approval but I’d like to have all the landscape materials necessary to cover
complete games. I need ideas. Thank you.
sand/beach 
I already have sand that can be used for multiple purposes with just a few adjustments in the instance. Ability to change direction of bump, intensity, wetness, color, scale, etc. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Salt flats or mud flats? The hard/baked ground that comes from too much exposure to the sun. Also makes for decent road/path textures.
gravel, dirt with tire tracks/footprints …
Great suggestions. Would it be possible to post some real life pics of what you guys had in mind. I want to make sure I get it perfect. Thanks so much for all the help.
Maybe a deep forest surface? Most people I see have grass in their forest, but most of the woods I’ve been in the ground is covered completely with leaves and pine needles. And by maybe I mean I would buy it immediately if the quality was solid.
Those are great for mudflats.
For salt flats something like this:

I have gravel, arbopa. But I don’t have dirt with tracks. Should the tire tracks and footprints be separate materials? And great suggestion.
mcgillchris, I have forest floor material but it doesn’t have pine needles and leaves, so I’ll get to work on that. Another great suggestion. Thanks so much.
Lol. A wonderful challenge. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for helping with my project.
I guess it all could be decals… even more the tire tracks… but perhaps just a tilable one with bootprints going different directions, like it was a heavily traveled area.
Perhaps one that has moss over rocks, with mushrooms and such… showing a very damp climate.
Thanks for the reply. Great ideas. I’ll start working on those right away. Awesome suggestions so far.
Volcanic?
I really hope you aren’t trying to create the same type of Landscape Material I am…
And a few fantasy types (Materials with emmisives etc…), planetary types (Surfaces of planets)
Is this coming to the marketplace anytime soon?
Epic is saying release date will be June 1st. The total number of materials in this set is 28. All textures are 2k. Was using 4k textures but not a noticeable enough difference in clarity to sacrifice the resources.
Do you have tire track decals like someone suggested above, a small detail like that would be great for Winter or whatever arch viz scenes 
I decided to keep this pack basic hence the name “Essential Landscape Materials”. I am working on the next pack which will have different landscape elements and will have assorted tire tracks in that one. Coming in a few weeks, I hope.
