Mayterials 2023
Part of my participation in the Mayterials art challenge hosted by TheClubDiscord and NVIDIAStudio.
I used this challenge as an opportunity to relearn Substance Designer and practice making materials that were both stylish and usable in an environment. This resulted in more structural materials (Walls, floors, and roofs) that were also constructed with more procedural methods to allow for more variety and control.

Prompt #09: Layered | Clay_Roof_Tiles
Material | Albedo/Normal/Metal/Rough/AO/Height
My goal was to make this fully procedural so that I could have not just random colors but also allow random tiles to have a "burnt" end regardless of their color
Prompt #10: Cursed
| Hieroglyphic_Wall
Material | Albedo/Normal/Metal/Rough/AO/Height
Being fully procedural, the damage can be adjusted but you can also change any hieroglyph and have the pattern update with no overlapping or out of place shapes.
Prompt #11: Sigil | Sigilyph_Ruins
Material | Albedo/Normal/Metal/Rough/AO/Height
Prompt #12: Perilous | Poisonous_Swamp
Material | Albedo/Normal/Metal/Rough/AO/Height
Prompt #13: Inspired | Plaster_Brick
Material | Albedo/Normal/Metal/Rough/AO/Height
Inspired by Jared Sobotta's material breakdowns, I focused on making a multilayered material that built off of base brick and plaster damage patterns. Which allows for updates and adjustments without breaking the material.
Prompt #14: Vintage | Cask_Rack
Material | Albedo/Normal/Metal/Rough/AO/Height
Despite the sharp height difference, I was able to add fine details to the sides of the barrels. Such as wood grain, damage, and metal bands to hold the wood.
Prompt #15: Celestial | Moon_Mandala
Material | Albedo/Normal/Metal/Rough/AO/Height
