Hi Zeb, apologies, I haven't been ignoring you, I havent been following this thread the last few days. I created the ground starting with two rectangles in different shades of brown, one lighter one darker, then I applied a bitmap transparency using a stone texture from the fills gallery. Then I grouped the two layers and used the embossing filter to give the texture a bit of height and next I used the mold tool and a floor perspective mold to get the perspective and to achieve the darker ground farther away I painted in some very soft shapes with the shapebuilder and gave them an enhance transparency and I lowered the brightness of the image in those areas.after that I simply clipped the whole works with the rest of the background.
