Clean surfaces

Surface Destruction applied

 

Realistic surfaces are rife with chaos.  One of the common downfalls of 3d images is the "clean" factor in which the surfaces are so pristine that an otherwise stunning model is rendered unbelievable.  Adding wear to edges goes a long way, but surfaces accumulate chaos all over, from smudges to a thin film of dirt that may not be visible in the color of an object, but has a profound effect on how light plays over the surface. This is where the Surface Destruction Vol 1 shines.  By giving you the ability to throw some chaos over your surfaces you can take your models to the next level of realism without spending hours painting enough grunge maps to avoid repeating patterns.

 

Grunge and damage are not the only uses for the Surface Destruction Vol 1 collection.  In this image, Surface Destruction was not only used to control the rust on the chain and hook, but also to create the water on the floor by applying the image maps to the diffuse, specular and reflection channels.

One can even layer the maps to randomize the surfacing of landscapes, skin texture and adding noise to volumetric lighting becomes a breeze.

 

The realm of 3d imaging is not the only place Surface Destruction Volume 1 can be a great, time and money saving asset.  Illustrators, Designers and Texture Artists will find that the Surface Destruction collection can easily be used paint program such as Photoshop as displacement maps, applied to alpha channels and even loaded into an image as a selection.

Compositors and Motion Graphic Artists will find innumerable uses for the Surface Destruction Vol 1 collection, such as adding burn marks, enhancing the surface of filmed items, using the images as track mattes, and as many more as the Artist's imagination can come up with.

 

Surface Destruction Vol 1 is priced at $35.  That's just $0.31 per image!
