Dear CityEngine community,

Here’s a picture of my internal research to degrade a perfect column or any stone block. The workflow I have found currently takes me about 3 minutes per asset that I need to degrade. It is planned to automate this process to have it run for hundreds of assets or landscape parts for bigger productions.

Applications for this workflow are obviously in highend visualizations and VFX, since the number of resulting polygons is quite high.

Thanks for your interest!

Matt

Very interesting stuff Matt and I'll be keen to see your progress on this.
Do you have an image of more pronounced degrading ?

  Hi,
  
  this was just the start .. ;-)
  
  I don't have an image at the moment (could easily do one), but when I have, I'll come back and blog about it.
  
  Thanks for the interest!!

    Here is just an other quick test render ..
    (A detail, but note that the holes are actual 3d-indents. This is not just smart texturing !)
    
    The idea works, now it's just about having a project to apply the workflow .. ;-)
