ATTENTION

This product will be removed from the blendermarket store when Blender 2.92 BETA is out since there is an updated version 2 of the Granite Material Pack with "Assets" (for the new Asset Browser in 2.92) available!

For people who have recently purchased this item, I have also added the new version here so you can easily upgrade without extra cost!

Realistic Procedural Granite Stone Shaders for Blender 2.8 EEVEE + Cycles

What's inside?

You get 2 ready-to-use material groups:

1. "All Purpose" Granite (typically gray)
2. "Meissner Granite" (typically red)

Watch this INSTRUCTIONS VIDEO which explains all of the settings!

Material "ChrisP Granite A"

This shader defaults to your every-day, "all purpose" granite material: Mostly gray, with blue quartz and brown mica inclusions - but of course you can customize the colors with these shader features:

Shader Features

• Vector ... for your custom texture-mappings
• Normal ... for your custom normal/bump maps
• Roughness ... set the overall roughness of the surface
  • examples: 0.05 = polished, 0.5 = raw
• Pits ... add imperfections (especially nice looking on polished granite)
• Crystals ... add shiny/reflective flecks (especially nice looking on raw granite)
• 5 Colors ... customize to match the type of granite you need
• BONUS: Raw Stone Displacement ... quick and perfect look for "adaptive micro displacements" in Cycles

Material "ChrisP Granite B"

The shader settings and features are identical to Granite A, BUT this material node creates different textures & texture distributions PLUS additional bright "veins" (similar to marble). This shader can be used to create "Meissner Granite" and by default uses the typical pink and red colors of that type of stone.

Tip: Other Materials
