I’ve spent the last weeks refining the materials I showcased in my previous post and the results look really promising. Progress has been huge in the case of rusty metal, since now this material is fully procedural and doesn’t rely on any external texture. Fully procedural materials offer the advantages of independence from external tools, […]
