Hi all. I made up this little chart with the different looks of a basic hardwood floor so that I can use it as a reference. For newbies like me, this helps big time and saves me a bunch of wasted time. I don't know if anyone is interested in this or if you even need it, but here it is.

Each render was only 5 minutes with physical sky and sunlight. For each square I changed the bump and/or the u and v settings. The material is plastic of course. I use max 6.

Here is a screenshot:



Get the pdf here. (just zoom in to get a better look at each sample)

Very useful, thanks deesee
It doesn't show the effects of changing the bumps very well though, might want to make a separate test for that, with perhaps a closeup of a block of wood. From what I've seen Maxwell's bump is very sensitive, I've never used values over 10.

Really!? Wow. No wonder my stuff always seems "off." I'll keep that in mind.

Herve, your post is sweeeeet.
