#mayterials Day 23/24- Organized I've always wondered how stones are picked and stacked to end up level like this? Like are they cut down or just really well planned?

#Mayterials Day 5/6 - Terrestrial Somehow this was the fastest material and turned out SO well in terms of height??? Idk what happened

#Mayterials Day 3/4- Condemned I passed by this garage door and thought it would make an amazing texture, and it was certainly easier than the first one 😱 still trying to push height in UE5, may try to convert to a substance workflow.

#Mayterials Day 1 - Industrial This year my approach is still hand-painted maps made from photo sources.. but the choice to render in unreal rather than marmoset may come with a larger learning curve than anticipated 🫠 I expect to return to this grate once I crack the code

WIP on a modular, drag-and-drop blueprint system that answers the question I always get: How do you make your lighting look like it isn't from unreal? The answer is always making it look aged and imperfect, often done in post. This tool aims to eliminate the entire post pipeline, all in-engine. #UE5

I'm finally taking a professional lighting class 😅 Here's project 01, prompt was still-life. Of course have to reference my favorite era of still-life paintings ever! Baroque my beloved ❤️ Render is totally raw out of unreal 5.5, color grading in-engine post processing only. #UE5 #Relight

#Mayterials Day 29/30/31- "Tactical" The finale!! Tactical in a medieval sense, chainmail. 🗡️First one of the month that is using a metallic map as well. ArtStation post compiling the month and my process with corrected versions of the materials dropping soon, stay tuned!

#Mayterials Day 27/28 - "Crumbling" GF made coffee cake and muffins to chose from for this one, went with the muffins for the tray height difference. Ended up pretty time consuming to hand paint the spec map in addition to height. Looks yummy though!

#Mayterials Day 25/26 - "Sturdy" Log wall from Knott's, seems like its lived through a lot 😪 only two more to go!

#Mayterials Day 23/24 - "Filigree" Some Christmas ribbon that we had to dig out of the closet. Hand painted height map + Materialize normal map. Rendered in Marmoset like always!

#Mayterials Day 21/22 - "Weathered" Made my life more complicated than it needed to be with this one. A combo of 2 images referenced from the backyard layered to create weathered electrical box on bricks.

#Mayterials Day 19/20 - "Alchemy" Every Alchemist has at least several trinket shelves! I assume... Hand painted height map and normal map from Materialize has been the go-to lately.

#Mayterials Day 17/18 - "Brushed" First time using alphas so far this month 👀 Lucky that I had an old clear un-scraped palette just waiting for this one!

Still on the eternal battle versus my own first attempt at this mossy brick texture. First version is from unreal engine, second is another recent attempt in marmoset. More realistic height in the second one, but it loses some soul...

Isabella Haro @isabellaharo.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

#Mayterials Day 14/16 - "Gloom" Hard to find "gloomy" textures about, decided to go with this door from Knott's Berry Farm (first one not sourced from within my property line) because it seems sufficiently haunted. A simple one to construct, mostly relies on a hand painted height map.

Isabella Haro @isabellaharo.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

#Mayterials Day 13/14 - "Illuminated" Was in a bit of a rush for this one and was having trouble trying to find something "illuminated" around the house. Looked down as I was thinking only to see my fingers were on something that worked! First time using an emissive for the month so far.

Isabella Haro @isabellaharo.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

#Mayterials Day 11/12 - "Ceramic" One of my favorite so far! Hand drawn height and spec map, baked simple normal modeled in blender, and an albedo based off an image of 4 tile coasters I have. Rendered in Marmoset like usual.

Isabella Haro @isabellaharo.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

#Mayterials Day 9/10 - "Fortress" Probably the quickest one yet, no sculpt required! Was tough to find a material around the house that fit the theme, but I bet fortresses use stucco? 😅

2146

Isabella Haro @isabellaharo.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

#Mayterials Day 7/8 - "Scree" Probably my most time consuming one yet because of the sculpt being made up of a ton of separate rock meshes in Blender for the normal bake 😅

1265

Isabella Haro @isabellaharo.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

#Mayterials Day 5/6 - "Workshop" Same process as the last one, this is based on an image I took of a well-loved wooden surface. Photoshop> Materialize> Blender Sculpt pass> Photoshop> Marmoset Render. Realized I have been baking my previous materials with the wrong Y axis in blender though 😔

1153

Isabella Haro @isabellaharo.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

#Mayterials Day 3/4 - "Splattered" Once again based on an image I took from around the house, this time an old tarp. Made using Photoshop, Materialize, sculpted an additional normal map in Blender, and rendered in Marmoset 5.

1143

Isabella Haro @isabellaharo.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Dissatisfied with the level of depth in the initial render, I went into blender and made a rough sculpt based off the diffuse, baked it to a normal map, and combined it with the original map in photoshop. Then got a free trial of Marmoset 5 to render. 🤪 still not perfect but we're getting there.

Isabella Haro @isabellaharo.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Decided to take a jab at #Mayterials only to discover that I no longer have access to substance 😅 Not to be deterred, I decided to try to make something using a photo taken from my house, photoshop, Materialize, and rendered in UE5. Mossy brick for day 1/2, Overgrown @theclubdiscord.bsky.social
