Grim and Grunge

[devout fiber]

Material study on the grim, wear n tear nature of metals and tried photorealism...
Positive criticism will be highly helpful..

Looks awesome and you did a great job with the textures & lighting.
The grudge at the bottom of the water tap looks a bit strange to me and the grudge looks really evenly spread. Just a gut feeling and I haven’t looked at any references so I’m probably wrong.

The one at the bottom of the tap 😂, man it's strange because I tried to recreate water clumping up at bottom with a sphere,but I wasn't able to get it correct.so I just I left it as it is

It works in every shot besides the last image (close up)

Any idea how to get that rit??

You could either hand paint a mask , use ambient occlusion or a gradient node.
Use a mix node with overlay and another one with for example multiple to break the mask up.
(Multiply and overlay some noise or grudge textures)

Thanks for this, pls don't think I am rude now😅, but I asked how to make the water clumping at the area btw tap and the sink

How to recreate the effect of "puddle" if this makes any sense to you
