[attachment=164] Even better, if you use the same plasma for the bump map and the erosion mask (may require Color>Invert) the erosion aligns with the bumps, which is where it would happen in real life. The ned result feels fairly realistic. [attachment=165] RE: none hand-drawn shields - lumqarz - 11-29-2016 Thanks for the replied. When I used plasma, those need quiet of bit tweaking. So the explanation only provide the rough steps. I'll take note on your erode effect, layer mask isn't easy when tried in the past.
