Iznik 01

An attempt at Anatolian iznik style tiles. Somehow the height map just never came out right. The red hearts got too much height and the tile itself came out too flat. I looked sort of ok on the 3Dcube in Substance, but when I rendered it with Photoshop, it just looks terrible. Putting an object with a soft rounded edge onto a flattish surface is challenging.

I also explored putting a shadow and light streak that might be on an interior wall from sun shining through windows above. I like the effect because it gives a sparkle of life, but I also don’t like it because it confuses the eye.

This design is no longer available.
