Hello all!

The 'River' series theme was one of the most popularly requested sets in need of an expansion during last spring's annual patron survey and for good reason: it's been 5 years since the release of River Assets 2. Over the course of that time I've truly found myself stretching it to its limits as I continued to need to incorporate it into increasingly more robust and contemporary scenes and I'm now quite glad to have expanded the toolkit considerably.

My main goal setting out? Create a set of tools that allowed for organic looking rivers. Many such paths that I see (my own included) suffer from looking too artificially constructed. I especially had an image of a winding creek in mind and I think the aesthetic of the final river paths here reflect that.

In the ZIP below you'll find:

23 new lakes (9 of which continue to adhere to the older visual style for those of you that may prefer it)

A new water texture terrain, one I made specifically to be a ittle more "directionless" in its current/ripples and thereby hopefully a bit more broadly usable in all scenarios

20+ new "ripples" to use in conjunction with other assets to give them a better appearance of floating in the water

30 different premade rivers ranging in size, direction, and making use of the different shoreline styles available

36 new waterfalls (from our prior 5) as well as 2 different seamless waterfall paths

An array of new seamless river paths, arriving in different shoreline styles as well as a "sunny" option to better fit a brighter color palette

All new small rocks made particularly for facilitating the rocky shoreline style, made individually accessible as well, and in their own seamless path options

Some fishing tools, all new small boats with furnished variants, and a humble array of "premade" natural river debris with water shadows and ripples ready-to-go

And of course, my "example" map of a river passing by a long-abandoned watermill. I knew much of what I would make would be composed of just open water, so I opted to make a relatively larger 44x31 square map, complete with unfurnished and night variants

The Dungeondraft-ready conversion of River Assets 3 contains all of the standard assets as objects within the pack as well as colorable counterparts of many of the available assets. You'll also find several path option for the new seamless rivers, shorelines, rocks, and waterfalls--not to mention the terrain for the new water texture!
