Digital Material Study: DIY Painted Wall
I took inspiration from the walls around me and conducted a study of a painted wall that has developed a story through wear and tear over-time... that's a really kind way of saying someone did a pretty shitty DIY job with the paint, and now it needs another coat. Nonetheless it makes for a great study for micro-surface detail in a material! Check out the material on my Artstation The substance designer file is fairly simple. It was a fun challenge to get the paint chips looking good. Here's a closer look at the details. If I look closely at my university dorm wall I can see a lot of paint strokes that are at different angles, an easy solution is to an anisotropic noise and splatter the created effect. Other small details such as micro-bump details and indents in the wall were created too, these small details help bring the texture to life.
