# Weathering Shader

![Image: 035649.jpg](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/Resources/Images/035649.jpg)\
From left to right: Unchanged, completely weathered, partially weathered (**Intensity Shader**).

The **Weathering** shader bleaches textures in any direction. Surfaces are bleached/washed out when water flows over them for a long period of time and the color of these objects is slowly carried in the direction the water flows.

This shader is an enhanced shader and is based on the **Brick** shader's [Rain](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/XBRICK-BRICK_GROUP_DIRT.html.md) function.
