Dubliner Wall Material
During my Spring Break in 2026, I traveled to Boston and spent one of my nights at an Irish pub called The Dubliner. While I was there, I took reference photos of many interesting textures that I wanted to recreate in Substance Designer. This material is based on the pub’s bathroom wall.
Material tiled 1, 2, and 3 times on a rounded cube and applied to a sphere
