REFERENCE PEBBLE

Surface Breakdown

Displacement Breakdown

WIP: Pebble

Notes
I'm probably going to play around with the displacement and noise frequency to make it look less like a marble and more like a pebble.

 EDIT
Here are the WIP images i rendered.

Week 5: Assignment

I'll be working on a pebble for the assignment.

Shadows: Cast hard shadows
Specularity: Low diffused specular

Reflectivity: No
Material: Granite

It's an interesting subject to play around with as there 

are countless patterns to play with and make

many different types of pebbles.

Probably, I'll be using a granite pattern material and
using noise to change the patterns in various ways.
A ramp to display the colors.

Week 3: Patterns

Here are the following shaders I came up with.
