Good tips for detailed rockwork. However, there are situations, when too much detail can get overwhelming and distracting. In a larger moc, to much detail on some environmental parts can distract from other parts of the build. You could consider, if you build a nice castle on a mountain, do you want to emphasize the castle or the mountain with detailed texture?
Excellent tips, great video! Another useful piece for adding detail are the 1x1 quarter-round tiles! I also generally try to avoid using 2x slopes as well, unless the mountain area I am working on is really large. If the mountain is larger, the bigger pieces do not stick out so much as they would on smaller builds.
Nice video! I will add, for larger mocs, sometimes you have to use larger pieces just to save money 😅...I don't know if you've seen Coconut Bricks Studios Rockwork, but he manages to make amazing looking rockwork with essentially 2x1x3s, 1x2s, and 2x2s. I do definitely agree with you on wedge slopes, unless you are building ninety degree angles (and that almost never happens lol) they should be used as much as possible
@@SwimminginBricks-ku6gj Totally makes sense with larger MOCs! I guess I focus on cramming intense detail in smaller/medium MOCs so this video might be intended for those doing the same! But it’s a good thing to note! Thanks!

@@BDD_Builds oh yes that 1x1 quarter round is super useful! Top tier piece!
I have genuinely been needing this information and I greatly appreciate your contribution to my knowledge!!
@@christopherhayward2416 So glad it’s helpful! Good luck rock building!!
