CG Object 001 – Concrete Debris

I probably looked like a crazy person when I found this concrete chunk in the street. There I was dressed from just meeting with a client, hauling a 55ish lbs. (about 25kg) chunk of what is essentially construction trash down a busy downtown street. How often do you encounter something like this though really in your day to day life? This scan is high enough res to really foreground this object in a destruction scene. That’s not always the case with CG rocks or debris so this was worth looking crazy to a few dozen strangers. I know, flavor text, flavor text, flavor text. Just get on with it!

Download a photogramically captured concrete debris model for free. This model includes a high resolution version, (about 25,000 faces) and a low resolution version (about 1,500 faces.) This model has been UV unwrapped and includes diffuse, occlusion, specular and roughness maps as well as displacement and tangent space normal maps.

This model includes a Maya ascii file, (the native format set up and ready to render,) with Arnold materials. It also includes .FBXs which should preserve the Arnold material and displacement set up across different platforms that support .FBXs and the venerable .OBJs that should work basically anywhere but you’ll probably have to set up the materials again on your own.

If you are getting strange results using the normal map be sure that your cg package is not applying a color space transform to the image. In other words, make sure the color space for the normal map is set to Raw.

Use this model in any way you see fit for either personal, academic or commercial projects. Credit is not required but it’s always nice! If you are going to give credit please do so like this:
