Grunge Masks
All fully procedural - no texture files, infinite resolution.
What are smart mask makers?
Smart mask makers generate a mask based on your mesh geometry - they adapt to any object automatically. You can use any grunge mask as the base texture.
|
Edgewear
Paint wear on edges and sharp corners. Great for metal, painted surfaces.
|
Ambient Occlusion
Darken crevices and recessed areas. Adds depth and realism to any mesh.
|
Slope
Simulate dust on horizontal surfaces. Great for top-facing areas accumulating dirt.
|
Gradient
Dirt accumulating at the bottom. Perfect for grime and ground stains.

Pick a smart mask maker - Pick a base grunge mask - The smart mask uses the grunge as a texture source and adapts to your mesh.
