Old Brick Wall - Photogrammetry based Environment Material

Another material breakdown, this time one of brick wall surfaces I captured working on one of my previous videos. This wall was captured in a cloudy day with a camera mounted on a monopod. I didn't use any flash and cross polarisation for this one.
I would like to invite those interested in details my worflow to my youtube channel:

Since I am pretty happy with this material, I have added it to my environmental materials library on gumroad:

It was added as 'gb_brickwall265'. With this one library contains 71 seamless scan based environment materials.
Cheers!

Source location - another macro shot, this time focused on a dirty part, from the distance this part looks just greyish and dirty, from close up.. it actually looks alive :)

ZBrush - low poly model creation and alignment for PBR texture baking. I didnt use any scale reference here but I measured that area I usually cover contains 22 bricks counted vertically and this is exactly amount of bricks covered with the low poly model
