One of my proudest accomplishments at Clay Nation was my procedural SBSAR material, built to be the master material for the project. This SBSAR file was used to generate a majority of textures, used for everything from assets to the environment itself. Examples can be seen throughout my “Asset Design” and “Environment Design” portfolio posts. 

The large list of effects possible with this file were all built on top of each other, organized so that it can be easily edited within the graph editor. Building it this way made it so new effects could be easily added which grew the possible combination exponentially. All effects could be controlled by simple toggles and sliders extracted from the graph, this also included a number of pre-built presets for base materials and “lite” versions of the material that could be created for more specific tasks. All of this could be imported and used within almost all #D software.
