Hi…
I am trying to make a Sand material. I am a programmer so I don’t have any experience in shader creation.
Ignore the landscape I had built one quickly just for testing
this is the one with subsurface scattering
This is the material for it
Is this good enough or do i have to add some things extra?
And yes, how do I create sand for mobile games?
Any changes extra I should do to make it look better? Like adding extra lights that only light the landscape etc?
It depends if you want to create a “real” sand material? -> then you should use a better sand texture
e.g ://www.cgtextures/texview.php?id=32630&PHPSESSID=3sqk9uqum79rdqrufncikafi40
Also add a stronger normal map to your current material, because at the moment it just looks like a flat plane and probably also a little bit of variation (take a look at the existing ground materials from epic games)

The normal maps had error… The way i had written my shaders… Looks better now
Can you please post an updated screenshot? Did you use one of the cgtextures photos?

Haven’t used the cgtexture yet. Had said my 2d artist to edit ti a bit before using.
Some parts of it kind of has a white reflection which doesn’t make it look good though.
