[edit] Asphalt

[edit] Method 1

This is a general asphalt texture. It can be used in any sort of situation, and able to be easily applied and altered for most situations.

Color

• Col: (Adjust as needed)
  
  • R-0.25
    
  • G-0.25
    
  • B-0.25
    

• Spec: (Change as needed)
  
  • R-0.8
    
  • G-0.8
    
  • B-0.8
    

Shaders

• Diffuse Shader:(Lambert)
  
  • Ref-0.6
    

• Specular Shader:(CookTorr)
  
  • Spec-0.22
    
  • Hard-5
    

Texture (F6)

• Tex: (Musgrave)
  
  • Input:Multifractal
    
  • H-0.8
    
  • Lacu-1.0
    
  • Octs-2.0
    
  • iScale-0.4
    
  • NoiseSize-(Adjust as needed)0.03
    
  • NoiseBasis-Voronoi F4

Map Input

• TE: MusgraveTex
  
  • Coord-Orco
    
  • Map-Cube
    
  • SizeX-1.0
    
  • SizeY-1.0
    
  • SizeZ-1.0
    

(Note: Adjust SizeX/Y/Z as necessary, try to keep 1:1:1 Ratio)

• Map To:
  
  • Output-Nor
    
  • Nor-2.0
    

(Adjust Nor based on mesh size, as necessary)

For this texture, try adding an Image Texture and add an image of actual asphalt. For a large scene, take multiple asphalt images and tile them randomly and overlapping in photoshop, then putting them down on your mesh. Also works well with Nodes. Hope this helped!

• Author Note: This material is more of a very freshly paved asphalt, and as most people known, almost all asphalt is heavily used. You can dull out the material by turning up the color to a slightly lighter grey, and turning down the specularity to take out some of the shine.
