Pixel-art grass tile with tufts and flowers

Generate a tileable pixel-art grass tile at a chosen art resolution (16 to 64 pixels), enlarged with crisp nearest-neighbour pixels: dithered lawn patches, blade tufts, flowers and pebbles, with per-pixel normal, height, roughness and occlusion maps. Use for top-down and side-view 2D games.

Limits to consider

Stylized pixel art, not a physically based material: roughness and height are values per drawn class chosen for 2D lighting, and the normal map treats each art pixel as a flat facet. Tufts, flowers and pebbles are small fixed sprites, so a 16-pixel grid shows single-pixel flowers and fewer details. Output sizes that are not a whole multiple of art_pixels give art pixels of unequal widths. Occlusion is a blurred-height estimate posterized to eighths.
