Riveted metal plates

Generate tileable PBR maps of riveted plating: a grid of lapped plates at slightly different heights, rows of domed or flush rivets along every edge, rust or dirt streaks running down from each rivet, and paint worn on rivet heads and edges. Use for ship hulls, tanks, airframes and steampunk props.

Limits to consider

Plates form a regular grid; real plating staggers its seams and follows frames and curvature. Rivets run in straight rows just inside each edge. Streaks always run toward the bottom of the tile. Occlusion is a blurred-height estimate, not ray traced.
