Description
The beginnings of a full set of cave tiles I'm creating that are designed to work with the OpenForge 2.0 system - which for now I'm calling the Stony Cave set. I've avoided added explicit grid-markers to help ensure that the realistic and organic vibe of a cavern is maintained, but the edge of each of the floor pieces has a reliable midlevel, so that they can be attached together consistently.
Starting with the floors because they're the most straightforward and likely the most useful components. I'm planning to build out a full set in this style, including walls, corners, stalactites/stalagmites, hallways, doors, etc.
Check out the other Models in my Stony Cave collection:
I strongly urge you to check out @devonjones's work if you haven't already. I'm just adding to the options of this great system to increase flexibility :)
I've designed these tiles to work with the OpenForge system, so I'd advise following the standard process for printing and mounting these on bases that match the indicated size of the pieces you print.
I love working with Blender for modeling, and I've been working on creating detailed procedural displacement textures to use for 3D printing. My plan is to generate the textures for this entire Cave System, such that I can imitate the natural patterns/structure of real caves. If this works well, I might make a second cave set with a different style/type of stone.

Updated all models with more interesting and natural rock structures/textures. Also added variations for the most common sizes (2x2 now has an A,B,C, and D version, and 4x4 now has an A, B, and C version)
