How to Easily Create Procedural Edge Wear in Blender
In this Blender tutorial, I'll guide you through the process of creating a procedural edge wear mask easily and efficiently. Edge wear adds a realistic touch to your 3D models, making them look weathered and used, enhancing the overall authenticity of your renders.
In this step-by-step tutorial, I'll demonstrate how to utilize Blender's powerful procedural textures and node-based system to create a customizable edge wear mask that can be applied to any object.

⚠️ Note for Blender 4.5 and newer users:
Blender 4.5 changed the default Distance value in the Bump node from 1.0 to 0.001, which affects how the bump effect looks in this tutorial.
If you're using Blender 4.5 or later and the result looks different, you may need to manually set the Distance back to 1.0 to match what you see in the video.
