The Bi-Weekly Substance Challenge (Challenge 3 & 4)
interpolator
Hello everyone, welcome to the Bi-Weekly Substance Challenge.
Like the previous challenge that was ran by Tejay, this is going to be running everyone 2 weeks to give people a little longer to work on the materials.
How it works
- Every 2 weeks a new reference will be shared to be recreated, you are also encouraged to find your own reference, as long as it still fits the topic for that bi-weekly substance, for example if we share a mud reference, you can gather you own mud reference.
- You can be creative with the reference and make it look either realistic, stylized or hand-painted, it is up to you.
Guidelines
- Try and give constructive criticism, giving and receiving this should help each of us artist grow.
- This is a Substance Challenge, so stick with that software.
- You can post Wip's and finished materials here.
- Don't share work you've done in the pass, if you done a material before, try it again don't try pass old work off as something you did for this.
- Final material renders to be rendered in a real-time engine (Marmoset, UE4, Unity, Cryengine, Stingray, IRay is also accepted).
- This is a learning experience for all, don't be afraid to ask questions.
- Learn all that you can and do share what you also learn.
- Please be respectful to each and everyone.

New challenge is live. It's time to raise the roof! (Roof shingles) http://polycount.com/discussion/185421/the-bi-weekly-substance-challenge-challenge-5/p1
More renders here.
I've also started on a new Sewer Drain:
Reference:
(The buildings are going to be... fun...)
I'll be doing at least one more rock material and finish this sewer drain before I move on to the Roof Shingles and Sea Foam again!
And this is my spaghetti!
Feedback: I feel like your rock is a bit too noisy and dark in color. I'd also like some edge high-lights!
