💡 Sharing a quick material tip of blending procedural materials with scan textures to make them more grounded. There are much more powerful ways to do this, but I've been using this method recently.

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)
