Rain Streaks & Dented Surface - Harry Potter's Knight Bus™

[nicbahn (Nic)]

Hello Guys,
I am new to this forum but maybe someone knows better and can help me out.
I’m currently modeling the Knight Bus from Harry Potter based on drawings of an AEC Regent III
I would like to have this dented surface and also these rain streaks.
Does anyone know how I can achieve this look?
Thank you in advance.
Best, Nic

Rain and water puddles

Problem: Creating puddles on arrayed street paths

Here’s a demo file of an array with UV offset. You can texture paint anywhere on the array, and everything has a unique texture space thanks to the UV layout and the offset used: [image] UVarraydemo.blend (253.7 KB)

also look at Blenderguru one of the first video he did was on rain and water

The dents look easy. Probably feeding a simple noise texture into a bump node already suffices.

The rain streaks, not really sure what is the best idea. Something simple would also be using a noise texture, stretched in vertical direction and the shape tweaked with a color ramp.

A fun way which can produce quite convincing results in to use dynamic paint on the surface and use a particle system (which simulates rain) as the paint emitter. Here is the tut about that:

Generate Wear Textures with Dynamic Painting and Simulation

Hi, I recently worked on methods to automate details and wear textures generation with vanilla Blender simulation tools and dynamic painting. I originaly did it because my texture painting skills were awful, but I believe that I came up with a few interesting and decently uncommon workflows during my trials. I explained the first method in a short video and I believe it could benefit the art of some Blender users to see it. This is an introduction to a serie of tutorials I am planning for int…

You would probably need to tweak the Dynamic Paint canvas settings to get that look close enough. Maybe enabling Drip would help.
