Cracks Weathering
In: Mesh Based Generators > Weathering
Description
This is a full-material effect that works on multiple channels at once. It adds a random crack pattern, with control over spread and depth.
Make sure to properly understand the Link Creation Modes when working with full materials.
Inputs
Curvature Grayscale Input
Baked or generated map used for internal effects and masking.
Height Grayscale Input
Baked or generated map used for internal effects and masking.
Mask Grayscale Input
Mask slot used for masking the node’s effects. Can be toggled with the “Mask” parameter.
Parameters
Channels
Toggle material channels on and off in this group, for example when using Specular/Glossiness maps instead of Metallic/Roughness.

How far the cracks should spread. This is the main control for this effect.
Cracks Depth 0.0 - 1.0
Depth of the crack effect. This mostly affects height and slightly affects visula thickness.
