Daniel Swing has presented his new complex material created in Substance Designer and rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 3.
I use the ‘Cartesian To Polar’ node to create most circular patterns. The Transform node gets an input of a white brick and is set to only tile horizontally.
This is basically how I made each and everyone of the buildings.
A lot of the geometry in the buildings are symmetrical, mirroring saved me a lot of time!
How I warped the flags.
This is how I masked out the rust and dirt. One noise is to subtract from the curvature and one is to add general noise beyond the curvature. It’s important to transform the noise when used multiple times so that it doesn’t overlap!
This is how I generate the basic color. I use the ‘Emboss’ node with ‘Gray-scale Conversion’ in both inputs and overlay the result in the height-map as micro-surface noise.
