Troll Bridge Lettering - Materials: The Letters

Materials for the letters I modelled in Modo and enhanced in ZBrush (more about that in a separate post). I prepared the materials in Substance Designer and Painter (stored as Smart Materials) to several stages of ageing and damage that can happen to brass and bronze materials. In Substance Painter I then used these like paint buckets to draw on the mesh. Then integrated it all with a few procedural masks to bring the whole piece together.

Substance Materials for the various layers to be painted on in Substance Painter. My paint buckets if you will.
