Moss | Substance 3D Sampler

Moss

In: Wear and Finish

Description

Use the Moss filter to add moss and lichen to your material. Moss uses the occlusion map of your material to grow naturally in cracks and crevices.

The images below show the dirt material before and after having the Moss filter applied.

Parameters

Basic parameters

  • Random Seed:
    The random seed that all other random parameters in this filter is based on.
  • Moss Global Spread: 0-1
    Adjust the coverage of the moss on your material.
  • Moss Color: color select
    Select the primary color of the moss.
  • Secondary Moss Color: color select
    Select the secondary color of the moss.
  • Moss Repartition:
    Select the method used to apply the moss. By default Occlusion uses the AO map of your material to apply the moss, but the other options will have different effects. If Custom Mask is selected, the Mask section will appear.
