Darfs autumn theme
Please leave a vote or comment if you download this theme! A lot of you have been asking which theme I use and it has always been a mix of my own textures and some of the more popular themes. I recently got my hand on some new tools and I decided to overhaul this theme with some 4k textures all of my own. This takes a lot of inspiration from Pres’s autumn theme, but I made some very different choices in the grass, cliff, ore, and gravel textures and ofcourse this is all in 4k which should help minimize patterning. This also uses my cobblestone texture.

About the the theme
This should match my buildings, took some inspiration from the great Smoky mountains and Jefferson National forest for this. I recommend that you use the oil texture for foresty areas and the ore textures in open areas. Use the fertile brush for mountain areas. Try to mix them up. It will look awesome.

Recommended settings
– The biggest recommendation I can make is that you set your exposure setting in Theme mixer 2 to your liking. Mine is at about 0.7. The theme is at 0.77.
– Use either a vertical or horizantal sun height that’s close to 0 (5/10) and the other that’s about threequarters down or up.
– Experiment with the lighting in eyecandy and choose what’s best for you.
– Also, shadows will matter a lot. I like my shadows Dark.
