[Substance Designer] Fallen out mortar Brick Wall

Midojr

Hey everyone!

I wanted to create a decent brick wall material in Substance Designer to practice two things: height blending and mortar creation, since I wasn't feeling comfortable with both. I used a lot of nodes to get this one done: from Tile Sampler to Flood nodes in order to get the result I wanted in a correct way.
I ended up creating a mortar generator along with a brick generator for this one to optimize the graph and make it more readable. 

The mortar falling apart might not be appealing to everyone but I quite like it myself and that's what it matters when it comes to personal studies/projects. 

The color variations came from Color Gradient nodes along with masks to choose which pricks get the desired colors. It was a fun training. 
100% fully procedural Substance Designer material, all in 4K resolution. 
Please check my artstation post for more high res renders.

Cheers!

Well done material. I have to say mortar might be a bit too distinct, but it's beauty of Substance Designer which is being able to easily tweak things like that for our needs.

One of the better brick materials I've seen!

Gloss response looks spot on.  Mortar might be sticking out just a bit too much, but easily tweaked, no doubt.  Nice work.

Thanks a lot guys for the kind words! It's really overwhelming for me, I'm really happy to read your feedback.
Yeah I understand that the mortar can be a bit weird and I agree I went a bit too far with it. It's the first time I've done it and this messy result made me smile so decided to keep it that way.

Thanks again!
