Aw man I'm sorry to hear it. The industry is in absolute tatters, we had a particularly difficult couple of weeks in Ireland

This is one from last year, I forgot to post the project. Shells scanned with the Creality Ferret Pro , 3DSMax and rendered in Toolbag 5 #madewithmarmoset #3dscan

Shells, Pete Mc Nally

This project was done to tip my toe in the world of Structured Light Scanning with the Creality Ferret Pro scanner. It was a small object that was on my desk, nothing deeper than that!

Finished Silent Hill 2 Remake and got the "Leave" ending. Hats off to Bloober, that was superb

Pete Mc Nally @mcpoly.bsky.social · Dec 6

Yeah pretty quick to iterate, you can drag drop materials from the library into layered mats, and use as many masks as you like with controls for contrast/brightness and whatnot

I've been testing displacement with triplanar mapping and vertex colour masks in Toolbag 5, quite a powerful workflow. More to follow

I dug out some old moss textures to see if they hold up with newer renderers (raytracing in @marmosetco ) and I think they do! Took some dialling in of the SSS and lightening the AO but the results aren't bad. the material is available here for FREE:
