Digital Textures: Decay
VanSwigchemDesign is specialised in the making of CG textures which add a lot of fine to very fine detail to any project. Like in real life every material is liable to decay. This can result in f.e.; stains of rust, oxide, paint, wear and tear, like cracks, holes, bumps etc. These textures can be used like brushes or blend-ins thus giving your artwork a real finesse. Standing out in the crowd.
