And I was wondering if anyone had any tips on creating such a scene ? I think the texturing is so nice and I suppose different to the norm I would love to be able to emulate this.
Hi,
This is just a tut for making 2D sprites and although the sprite is textured in dark solid colors rather than the softer shades in your picture, its a beginning, maybe.
You might do a google advance search on this domain for 2D textures renders shaders or something, while you wait for more responses from the community.
