Crack and Fracture Decals or Overlay Shaders

johnbuckeridge

So how about some crack and fracture decals or overlay shaders?  Something you could superimpose over, say, an existing plaster, concrete or brick shader.  That way you could have a variance of whole to crumbling structures within the same environment - or show stages of decay over time.

I did a search for 'Decals' in the store, https://www.daz3d.com/catalogsearch/result?q=decals and came up with 37, not all for hard objects but some that might answer your needs today. 

And for prop destruction:

https://www.daz3d.com/gescon-constructive-solid-geometry-for-daz-studio

https://www.daz3d.com/gescon-ii-constructive-solid-geometry--upgrade - does require purchase of the first product.

I am sure others may know of other existing solutions, like maybe Hexagon?

If you look at these PAs, check out their stores, they may have other products I had to pass over due to lack of funds at the time, but they make excellent products.

Also look at https://www.daz3d.com/digital-delirium shaders which are often DAZ+ and come with dirty versions of a clean version.

I hope this helps you,

Mary

 Thanks, Mary.  Some great suggestions, there.  I think the SurfaceWorx comes closest from your selection, so that's gone straight into the cart.  I think the advantage of overlays is the flexibility they give you.  Some of the specified grunge shaders I have - and they'e very good - but they're kind of fixed.  I'm sure some bright spark will come up with something along the lines of what I described abovesooner or later!  :)
