In the end though, we found that the time spent authoring textures like this didn't really pay off so we stopped using the feature.
Instead of that, we blend randomly between a few different material versions that make up the ground which leads to a similar but easier to achieve effect. An obvious example is here http://web.poecdn.com/image/xboxbeta/ss/Panel1/screenshot3.jpg http://web.poecdn.com/image/xboxbeta/ss/Panel1/screenshot3.j... where we have a snowy and non-snowy version of the same ground texture and we scatter blends to the snowy version randomly.

- dkersten 9y agoOff topic: I played PoE back in summer and autumn 2012, in closed beta, and I absolutely loved the game. I even spent some money on it :-) Then my gaming PC died. Nowadays I only play games on PS4. I just noticed that an Xbox1 version was released a few months back: are there any plans of ever bringing PoE to PS4? I would love to play it again, but can’t rationalise getting either a gaming PC or an Xbox to do so.
- hmschreck 9y agoI noticed it on PSN last night.
- dkersten 9y agoAre you sure? I’ve tried to find it since seeing your reply and no luck. Couldn’t find anything about it online either. There’s also this: https://gamingbolt.com/path-of-exile-dev-explains-why-the-game-is-not-coming-on-the-ps4-xbox-ones-esram-didnt-posed-many-issues https://gamingbolt.com/path-of-exile-dev-explains-why-the-ga... :( Looks like my closed-beta purchases are going to continue to go to waste. I’ll miss you, little kiwi bird...
