Description:
This material allows you complete control over moss grown over any surface: The material will also work for other sort of growth on surfaces; this could be grime and water damage as well!
What this material could be used for:
Old wooden floor Cracks in tiles Damaged structures Anything which has any moss or dirt on it
This material will give you complete control over natural damage to a surface, here is how:
-
The material uses one noise texture to get the base information needed to know where moss occurs.
-
Using this noise information the material will check in the light areas where the original surface has dark grooves or indentations and create a BW image to show where moss or dirt will grow.
-
Using the information above the material will place the dirt/moss shader underneath the surface shader
-
All of the above uses the variables you put in to alter the power and the size of each dark and light point
What each variable does: (bold- control the effect of the moss/grim on surface)
Moss diffuse- The surface texture of your moss or dirt
Floor Diffuse colour- The surface texture of your floor (wood)
Floor diffuse random darkness- The colour tint to add extra interest/realism
Floor diffuse random darkness power- How much is the dirt/moss affected by the tint
Floor diffuse random darkness noise- The noise pattern for the colour tint
Floor diffuse random darkness noise distort- The distortion of the noise
Floor displacement texture - Texture used to displace the floor
Moss coverage- How much of the floor can have moss/dirt
o Moss noise distortion- The distortion pattern for the moss/dirt coverage
o Moss noise scale- How large is the noise which affects the surface
Moss age- How strong the moss/dirt is on the surface
Moss displacement- How bumpy the moss/dirt is (value)
Moss displacement coverage Controls how sharp the edges of no moss and moss is
Moss v.s. floor- How much the floor texture is used to control the moss
Moss fullness- How strong the noise pattern is for the moss/dirt
Moss Gloss- How shiny is the moss/dirt
Moss gloss roughness- How rough is the moss/dirt
Floor gloss- How shiny is the floor
Floor displacement- How bumpy is the floor

Written May 14, 2015This is amazing - works for anything you need to make naturally eroded. Tried it with a couple of metal textures to create a grunge look and it's the most realistic rust I've seen from blender! Amazing work! Edit: Here's a little test I did - http://i.imgur.com/FNd7lUf.jpg

Edited July 21, 2015Thank you. I reused your material for dusty floor, simply by convert moss color into black/white. The result is here. The material setting was very useful.

Written March 20, 2019Cant get this to work for some reason- just a brown/green material with no moss. Anyone know what im doing wrong? Or could tell me the steps to adding this to something
