[Substance Designer] Mossy rough red cliff

Midojr

Hey everyone! 

I finally finished this material I've been working on.

I went for a hike a couple of years ago in the Fréjus, South of France, and had the chance to look closely at the Massif de l'Estérel. Looking back at the photos I was inspired by some of the formations and especially the cliff's color. I wanted to replicate them in Substance Designer and create a procedural material. The material has a full control of number of rocks used, the cracks, the moss, lichen and some plants. It has a lot of variations in terms Height Map. I'm quite happy with the final result. It's really rough and I liked the final noise I got from it. 

It's been a while since I've done a rock study and the graph ended up being pretty messy but somehow still really optimized. 
Fully procedural, 100% Substance Designer, 4K resolution, lots of variations and options to customize from: Number of rocks and variations along with height adjustment, moss and lichen destribution with colors, cracks generation and overall color for each generator. 

Rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 3 and some retouches were done in Photoshop. 
It'll be used in a scene about Tintin's island that I'll be working on soon. 

Let me know what you think, also don't hesitate to see full res images on my Artstation!



Cheers!

Looks really great! I think maybe you could make cracks a little bit more subtle, because some of them are a bit too wide for my taste. Brilliant job nonetheless!

I understand about the cracks! I wanted to try and see how the crack generator I created worked and found it interesting. The width can be controlled with it.  
Thanks!
