I've been a huge fan of Michael Vicente's materials for a long time. He has established such a unique, bold yet subtle style that is a joy to look at. This is my attempt at replicating one of his materials in Designer. It was much more challenging than I anticipated. I had to develop some weird workarounds to get some of the more subtle shapes. My biggest take away was that although it is possible to get pretty close procedurally, there is still a lot to be said for creating these kinds of bespoke, stylised materials in Zbrush.
