Distressed Etch Preset

This style evokes the look of an aged etching print, its weathered lines hinting at untold stories and forgotten moments. It features a textured quality, perhaps broken or interrupted in places, creating a sense of mystery and a touch of melancholy.

To help you master this preset, we offer two guides. Experienced Stylized Looks artists may choose the Teapot swatch guide to gain a deeper understanding of how the Teapot swatch was rendered with this style.

For those new to Stylized Looks, we provide guides for different DCCs (Digital Content Creation) software that cover the basics, including importing the preset into a simple project for learning purposes.

Our DCC guides take you through every step, from the initial scene layout, lighting and render setup to importing the preset into the scene, setting up AOVs, customizing materials, and rendering.
