Heya, glitchi here.

I'm gonna work on a material that will be super helpful to create megastructures (buildings, walls, etc) with ease. The main goal is to make the material as procedural as possible to have effortless infinite variations with easy tweaks.

Below are refs from different artists, the styles are different - hence the procedural tweakability of the material planned.

edit: clarifications

this is not a 1x1m or 2x2m classic texture, but a Digital Matte Paint oriented material for displacing objects to help create megastructures - think more like 200x200m. The goal is to create such material it will be DMP-worthy level of realism. Sadly no close-up shots are applicable to such project, therefore the reference is not exactly real world, but describes the goal of the desired outcome very well. If needed can answer further questions

Added clarifications after a quick chat in discord with Jin. For further clarifications open for discussion.

edit: after a quick chat with Adnan ambiguities got resolved, will update the project with better reference images within a couple of days.

edit 2: updated reference imagery, going for the rebirth megastructure look, it's very representative of the goal in my mind, and i couldn't provide same level quality reference shots from bladerunner movies, they are too ambiguous in nature, even the breakdowns.

Can't wait to see what you come up with. Megastructures like that are so cool, and to be able to piece them together with low poly geo and use Mixer to generate everything else would be amazing.

Sadly I don't think I'll be able to finish it in time. Was a nice exercise nevertheless.
