SECTION 8 - Essence Settings and Other Attributes


3] Rough marble/rock (Essence)

This uses 2 textures, one for a main color variation, and the other for the bump/roughness. This is very effective for creating stone surfaces. Try these settings on a primitive plane.

When rendered an off gray stone will be created. Great for caverns, dungeons and so on. Just slap it onto the walls or columns to give it good-ol' natural look.
