Material Practice

Jiece

Hey Polycount, I'm trying to get better with realistic materials via Zbrush, the Quixel suite and Marmoset, both of which are new to me as well. So far I've managed to churn out some cobblestone and a clean brick wall, both made from scratch. I'd love to hear what I can do to improve my work.

Not 100% sure of the etiquette in this case, but... posting again to aid visibility. It appears I posted this at an inopportune time.

Might be a little be easier to critique with flats. The mats themselves look really solid in viewport though.

The lighting seems relatively flat making it difficult to give critique. Are you working with PBR (albedo, roughness, and metallic maps)?

Or are you trying to do it old school with diffuse, spec, and gloss? If you're trying to do a material study I would opt for studying PBR. Everything is more or less moving in that direction.
