Weathering or Beating up a mesh via script?

Support Modeling

I would like to take my newly created gear mesh, and beat it up a bit so it’s not so darn perfect and straight-edged. Is there a way to do this through a script or some sort of automated process, or do I need to subdivide and go in by hand and pluck at vertices?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

You could subdivide areas and give a little fractal value
Subdivide and use sculpting tools to create dents etc

You mean old gear like this image?

For some thing like that, use AO map, normal map and UV texture.
