Did you know sand grains record their transport history?

New research in Geology shows zircon grains reveal their journey through microscopic abrasion “microtextures”—even in billion-year-old rocks!

Prompt by AI Generation USA‬ @mischab.bsky.social‬ Venom in Halftone Tight black-and-white crop on a freckled face, shot with shallow depth and low-key directional light that traces microtextures across skin and lips. Freckles rendered with surgical precision beneath a filmic grain overlay. Eyes sharp, reflective, and unsettling, locked just above frame center. Glossy lips glint against matte skin. Hair blades arc into negative space. Captured with a 135mm prime, f/2.2, ISO 400. Deep shadows swallow background context, focusing all attention on the gaze and the glisten.

First paper from our lab! Led by Calvin Riiska, we found that skin microtextures remain intact in museum-preserved reptiles. Using this result, we found a new instance of convergent evolution in sidewinding! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

In contrast to previouse research, we show that even small #glaciers (2km long) can produce #microtextures on quartz #grains; hence, even small glaciers can be “caught” in depositional record via #SEM and reconstructed.

close-cropped side profile of a battle-worn dragon looming over a burning gothic cathedral, frame locked on the creature’s horned head and scaled cheek, rich microtextures in dusty reds and ochres, subtle specular highlights along the bony ridges, soft directional lighting cutting through heavy smoke, fireball erupting at base of the spire in the middle ground, smoke stacks rising in soft plumes around highrise silhouettes, dramatic atmospheric depth created by haze and occlusion, all elements grounded in photoreal scale and materiality, color palette dominated by soot gray, ember orange, and scorched brick.

Extreme close-up of a woman's face in stark black-and-white, captured at an oblique angle. Single-source light cuts diagonally across her skin, casting deep shadows and emphasizing microtextures. Freckles and pores are crisply resolved. Her eye is sharply lit, framed by dense lashes and an arching brow, while glossed lips catch specular reflections at the edge of the frame. Cropped tightly to the cheekbone, the image isolates form and surface, evoking classic noir portraiture through tonal depth and sculptural focus.

Also yes, screw UVing, materials and procedural microtextures for the win.

Also re-routed textures a bit, added triplanar UV, and linked custom transparency fading code with optional dither. Albedo and emission are left as is, and now this should be a single shader "to rule them all" (solid objects). Will grab some free noise and microtextures, and do some normal maps.

I think this fits in well with my artwork due to the use of microtextures. A lot more bold than the ones I typically do. 🔥

The photo captures authentic imperfections, slight redness, subtle wrinkles, uneven tones, fine facial hairs. Skin details, lifelike pores, detailed microtextures, translucent skin tones, subsurface scattering. Contrasts and detailed tones, true-to-life with natural imperfect details, perfect pure photorealism, sharp focus on natural skin textures.

The authors demonstrate that rising bubbles deform the entrapped gas layer on nano/microstructured surfaces, enabling ultrafast and stable capture via liquid film rupture and three-phase contact line hysteresis.

3D Printing: Biodegradable Vascular Scaffolds with Microtextures for Bypass Surgery
Coronary artery disease is among the common triggers of heart attacks. When a coronary vessel is narrowed by deposits, coronary bypass surgery is often used: a patient’s own vein or an artificial tube bridges the constricted section and restores blood flow. However, synthetic small-diameter grafts in particular often integrate poorly into the surrounding tissue, which […] The post 3D Printing: Biodegradable Vascular Scaffolds with Microtextures for Bypass Surgery appeared first on 3Printr.com.
