Compacted Gravel - Photogrammetry based Environment Material
Another variation of compacted gravel I captured to get more materials of compacted gravel for terrain blending. In this case, the gravel is really used and pressed deep into the ground. This is why it looks almost like a mud but its still gravel covered with dirt I consider as a variation of compacted gravel. THe surface was captured with full cross polarisation.
With this material added as 'gb_gravel295', the library (https://gum.co/WJAQy) contains 73 materials in total.
I used my standard material workflow which can be found on my youtube channel:

I calibrated the color in a new way I am currently researching, planning to share more details in here or in a video on my youtube channel at some point when the research is over.
Cheers! :)
