This material allows you complete control over moss grown over any surface:
The material will also work for other sort of growth on surfaces; this could be grime and water damage as well!
What this material could be used for:
- Old wooden floor
- Cracks in tiles
- Damaged structures
- Anything which has any moss or dirt on it
This material will give you complete control over natural damage to a surface, here is how:
- The material uses one noise texture to get the base information needed to know where moss occurs.
- Using this noise information the material will check in the light areas where the original surface has dark grooves or indentations and create a BW image to show where moss or dirt will grow.
- Using the information above the material will place the dirt/moss shader underneath the surface shader
- All of the above uses the variables you put in to alter the power and the size of each dark and light point
What each variable does: (bold- control the effect of the moss/grim on surface)
- Moss diffuse- The surface texture of your moss or dirt
- Floor Diffuse colour- The surface texture of your floor (wood)
- Floor diffuse random darkness- The colour tint to add extra interest/realism
- Floor diffuse random darkness power- How much is the dirt/moss affected by the tint
- Floor diffuse random darkness noise- The noise pattern for the colour tint
- Floor diffuse random darkness noise distort- The distortion of the noise
- Floor displacement texture - Texture used to displace the floor
- Moss coverage- How much of the floor can have moss/dirt
- Moss noise distortion- The distortion pattern for the moss/dirt coverage
- Moss noise scale- How large is the noise which affects the surface
- Moss age- How strong the moss/dirt is on the surface
- Moss displacement- How bumpy the moss/dirt is (value)
- Moss displacement coverage Controls how sharp the edges of no moss and moss is
- Moss v.s. floor- How much the floor texture is used to control the moss
- Moss fullness- How strong the noise pattern is for the moss/dirt
- Moss Gloss- How shiny is the moss/dirt
- Moss gloss roughness- How rough is the moss/dirt
- Floor gloss- How shiny is the floor
- Floor displacement- How bumpy is the floor
