Metal Procedural Ship Surface Shader is a fully procedural, production-ready material shader tailored for the weathered hulls of ships, submarines, or heavy industrial surfaces.
This node-group encapsulates years of decay, stress, and oceanic exposure — featuring:
Edge wear & curvature highlights for natural weathering effects.
Dual color layers controlled by Z-position, allowing vertical stratification.
Procedural paint peeling, revealing oxidized metal underneath.
Customizable scratches and cracks, giving deep realism.
All properties packed in a single, clean node group, ready for easy control and reuse.
Ideal for cinematic VFX, naval asset texturing, historical reconstructions (e.g. Titanic), and grungy industrial visuals. No image textures needed — everything is math-driven for scalability and resolution independence.
