This week I was supposed to complete my portfolio piece inspired from FIFA volta's Milano pitch. This time I am behind the schedule but on the other hand there are a lot of things that I learnt while going through the creation of this process. The biggest learning of all was substance designer.

I created materials for a brick wall/surface, concrete surface and grass. Although the grass material looks stylised, I think I will be able to get away with it since it will only be seen from afar. Here are how the materials and their nodes look:
