Appearance Abrasive

Hello,

 

I am looking for an appearance that mimics abrasive, like a grinding wheel or such.  Has anybody found one or where to get one?

 

Thanks for your help.

As an OK starting point, take a look at the polyurethane foam texture under Other > Foam.

 

Here is a 45-second attempt at mimicking a grinding wheel...

I removed the image and used a generic gray color, scaled, changed roughness, and increased the depth of the bump considerably. There is a lot of room for improvement - the basic premise is that the bump map does the work for you and this is a pretty good one for abrasives.

This is great! Could you go a little bit more in depth on what you did here? I can't seem to get it to look anywhere near as good as you did. I don't know which way to scale it or what the bump depth should be
