It is suppose to be wet concrete i forgot to mention that

Could you add some close up of the surface with lighting on it ?

Will these work? Thanks.

A couple of things that I think could help.

One is adding some warm cool color variation. Check out this image. Concrete has a lot of different subtle grays in it.

Secondly, when concrete absorbs water it becomes darker and loses the shine when the water is no longer on the surface. I think adding this between the wet and dry areas could help.

I like your material it's pretty cool but I can't say if it's mud or fresh concrete. If you want just to create a normal concrete material with some humidity in it maybe you can break the fact that your humidity map is the exact reflect of the volume of your surface. You could maybe reduce the size of your grain as well.

Ok Thanks all ill post and update when i can but thanks again

Post your flats separately as well after an update.

Hey
It needs more normals to determine what it is... is a little bit flat
Also color variation and some info on the roughness to help defining the materials.

Use more referencing for it!
Hope it helps

Just some other views.

I would really like to try to get like maybe some small rocks or pebbles but i'm having a hard time doing it.

A close up shot.

It looks better, but to me does not look like it is Wet. Looks more like a lacquer.

Post your texture flats, Albedo, Roughness, Normal Map, Metalness etc. so we can determine what the core issue may be.

What kind of concrete were you going for? Wet concrete? or fresh concrete?

My Metallic is just black.

And on a Flat Surface

MattyWS · Aug 2015

Your roughness doesn't really look right, it should, if anything, be more binary imho. That is, either it's rough or its shiny (if there are puddles) and if there are puddles the normal map should be flat in the area where roughness is pure white. Otherwise, concrete will usually absorb water and go dark but not be. Like sand does on a beach where you can see waves have reached far up, it's not really shiny, just darker. Either way your roughness is too noisy for this particular texture.

Do you have a height map and so map to show too?
