Damaged concrete sharp edges

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello i have been trying to replicate damaged concrete but without sucess:(

Thought maybe someone knew a tutorial that explains what brush and how i costimize it and how the alpha sjuld look like becuse i have tryed all i can think of,Even masks but that worked even worse

i found this http://www.ilyanedyal.com/images/big/rubble_rw_big.jpg

Amazing but he doesnt explain how he did it :frowning:

What are you using for reference pics? Damaged concrete can have numerous appearances. You’ll probably want to use more than one brush. I’ld say using the Noise feature & masking would be a good start.

Hello and thanks for the reply!

Well i try to replicate the damaged concrete in the image i posted above.But as i said im doing something very wrong and need some type of example how to do :confused:

In the image you see it has sharp edges and flat in the bottom like a stairstep,Not sure how to archive that with zbrush 3.5

I have made a lot of custom alpha textures but i think im useing the wrong brushes,Also there are millions of different settings both for the stroke,alpha and brush so im kind of lost here,I cant even replicate it on a simple cube :frowning:

Its pretty annoying to see all character tutorials but almost nothing about environments,Anyway i cant find anything that explains this kind of subject!

Anyone may be know though if there is a tutorial on this or indepth explination,Not just use a brush and begin to mask.That doesnt say how or if there is a special alpha mask

Thanks guys and sorry for asking ,May be a dumb question if there isnt any tutorial on this subject!?

yes i have seen this tread!

I know how to create a basemesh but nothing in here tells me what i asked about :rolleyes:

i have had my eyes on this tread from the start,I really hope to see a tutorial from this guy in the future becuse its amazing work he´s posted!!

Anyway i guess i need to try another week and see if i can replicate this concrete damages,Just cant figure out how to make it this realistic

Thanks everyone!

Noone that can tell me?Cant find any good explination on this,Maybe he use 2 diffrent meshes?Its a jungle of brushes and alphas ,Brushsettings,Strokesettings …

Must it be this hard :confused:
