More Textures!

3D Terrain Tiles are designed specifically to provide landscape textures and this is accomplished with what we call a "Crown" tile. The Crown provides the finish detailing of your game board. It allows you, the builder, to apply unique 3D textures to the playing surface. 

What do we mean by unique 3D textures?

3D textures are just that, 3 dimensional patterns designed into the plastic. These designs come from 3D sculpts and are designed to give realism to the game board. We don't print decals and stick them on the crowns nor do we use the same texture for all crowns, painting them different colors. We believe to have a truly interesting and custom game surface, you need real textures designed into the tiles.

The crowns sit atop the base to provide us the designers additional possible 3 dimensional affects such as translucent crowns for things like water and ice allowing visibility to the riverbed below, lava flows running beneath crusty cracked stones, shallow recesses can be created like puddles or bomb craters without having to re-design the base, side views of things like suspension bridges are thinner and more realistic, our LED lighting system can be installed in the space between the base and crown to give awesome visual affects (check out or video on how to do this at https://youtu.be/1ETI8N1BgPk), and many many more awesome ideas.
