Rocks, tress, and questions

[bvk]

Hi all

Here is my final scene with trees and rocks along a meandering path in the woods, a a bench on which weary travelers can rest!

I’m pretty surprised at how different the meadow and path textures look comparing Eevee (top) and Cycles (bottom.) Why do the cycles textures look so bad in Cycles?

EDIT- I’ve been tweaking the scale parameters and am getting some much better values. Will work on it some more in the morning and post some better pics

Cycles is better, or more real. There are not really many leaves on those trees compared to real ones. Lots of light should be going through them. I am guessing Eevee is treating the whole mostly transparent leafy branch as though solid and making shadows. Plus the two can need separate lighting level treatments.
