height / roughness / specular

I know what you're thinking: dark and light tones in the Albedo to support the Roughness? How about the PBR "rules"? haha .. I know I know, it's something that I don't usually do, but hey, let me play a bit ..

Close-up/zoom into the texture in order to see the details I add with SD. Details are subtle on the normal map, and going slower. It's probably best to use the slider on the video player.

zbrush sculpt

+ algae sculpt... I did a few algae meshes and alphas to finish faster.
