New to my Patreon is a procedural rusty metal material. Since I want to do an update for Modular Metals in the future, I asked Dee (a creator friend) to have a go at metal degradation so we could compare techniques. Available to silver-tier patrons.

I use the Wanderer character by Daniel Bystedt
(2) in a lot of lighting demos for Blender, so yesterday I wanted to pay homage by doing a reinterpretation of the character that's a bit more in line with my personal style, but could also feasibly exist within the same universe (1)
