    Anyone know any good reference/texture shots of like typha (cattails ), or reeds you'd find like in marsh? I'm having trouble finding some, and I don't live that close to any good swamp or marshlands.

    Then maybe you can share yours as well?

    There's a couple books that I'd recomend, check out these: (Not sure if you can find them digitalized tho (PDF) )

    These come with a DVD, so you can use the images for zbrush masks, etc.

    There's more in there, search the related products.

    Hello everyone! Visited the Strängnäs tank museum (in Sweden) this summer and took a bunch of reference photos there.
    Unfortunately these were taken by 3 different cameras and one of them was a shitty phone cam so sorry about
    the res and blur on a few of them Hope you still like them though!
