Asset Overview

* This is an entry into the 3DF Zephyr 2020 Worldcup competion, round #2. The rules are no outside editing or fixing, so any minor issues you see would otherwise be easily painted out. At the end of Miller's Canyon (Central Utah), just across the highway, is a huge plateau of yellow sandstone sitting on top of incredibly fluffy blue-gray sediment. Sometimes a block of sandstone will break off and roll down the soft slopes and end up out in the flats. Over a thousand years these huge blocks will weather and decompose into amazing shapes. These rocks are called "Miller's Cows". Some are as big as a bus, but these have eroded to almost nothing-- just the bones of the cow. Here's a large cow: https://i.imgur.com/w0hFOch.jpg And here are the cow skeletons from this mesh from 2 years ago: https://i.imgur.com/nyErRJe.jpg (Has it changed?)
