Copenhagen Cobblestone

A cobblestone material inspired by the walkway behind the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen. The main goal was getting the right variation in the brick shapes and edge damage, as well as building a stone generator for the pebbles. However, it was so much fun, it quickly grew into something larger.

After getting the base material into good shape, I added some extras, such as the additional patterns, manhole cover, drain grates, grass, and pine needles, all of which I can control using instance parameters. I always have fun trying to bring together different kinds of elements, like stone, grass, and metal, into a single material.
