Hi!

Can I get a faded roughness on my dielectrics somehow?

Ive got this Xe arc lamp here:

(I know, crappy scene, carppy render, but just a wip) and I really neet to make several parts of the galss sandblasted. And even worse, several parts darkened a bit.

Is this possible somehow with the current Maxwellb uild, or I just have to wait 'till a new shader implementation comes along? And if so, when taht will be...

So, no ideas? Thats what I was afraid of... the old version of this lamp, which would also be a part of the final composition, is even more in the need of mapped roughness, or mapped dielectric colors, just take a look at the reference

not sure hat plugin you're using for maxwell but did you try using a gray scale map in the Roughness U and V slots?

i think dielectrics have no mapped roughness as yet. at least not in max.

maya has this, but then again Aldaryn didnt specify what he as using, do you max guys have a bump slot for dielectrics?

yup, we have. do glossy maps work well in maya? can you show us a sample picture?

Glossy maps work in Maya?

It seems a bumpmap, and patience is the answer for right now.
