Adding rust around a layer with brush strokes

rFranks

Hi there,

say I have a layer and just apply some weld brush strokes on it like I have here for some welding lines...





is there a filter that I can apply that will follow the edges of those lines to mimic rust around the weld lines?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, if you baked a curvature map in SP ...  create a fill layer(s) with rust color(s) and use one  of the smart masks (like edge wear) or mask editor to show your rust at the edges. Tweak parameter until happy.

You don't need to bake anything,  you can use anchor points to pass the height/normal information into a mask generator

Yep what poopipe said, pass the height/normal into a mask generator by placing an anchor on that height/normal layer. Then on a mask generator on a layer higher up in the stack you can utilize a micronormal option and select the anchor. Then using the that mask mess around with your various grunges and noises to get a nice rust effect in the crevices.
