A material study created 100% procedurally in Substance Designer. Rendered with Marmoset Toolbag.
Almost 2 weeks (or three?) in the making and survived some late-night struggles with the graphs, but I'm finally happy with how this turned out.
Thanks to my wife and my sister for their constructive critique.
Also a huge thanks to these artists for their tips and advice:
