I'm almost sure all these materials were on the MXM site before.... Strange

Max removed all his materials, some of them where really amongst the very best in the gallery.

Hi

Yes, i did remove them from the MXM Gallery and for a couple of reasons i don't wanna mention here now. However Kyriakos, as you want those two materials i link to them here from my own site. If you have any trouble with them or any questions you can contact me for support.

Kurt: Thanks, but i disagree. Yours are lightyears better, that's the honest truth.

Thank you so much. You have created some of the greatest materials around...

i would like to know why you didn't win the last challenge...

[Maximus3D]

Kyriakos: You're welcome i'm glad you like my creations.

def4d: There's nothing to tell about that, i know why and i understand them and their decisions. I'm ok with it.

Btw, why are so few of you guys posting materials for the current challenge in progress ? only 9 materials are posted so far, and the prizes are great. Come on now, create and upload and win yourself a PSP thingy.

Bumber d - u - d - e! Your good and I thought I would learn the how to of materials from you. Our loss. I hope this is not permanent.

[Maximus3D]

Leo: No problem, you'll learn mxm creation even if it's not based directly on my work. There are plenty of talented mxm artists on this forum and the mxm gallery. And you can always ask questions on the forum, in pm, via email, through Msn and such things if you're stuck.

Btw, nothing's permanent.. only temporary.

Definitely good news, Max.

Hi Maximus,

Did you find the 16 bit maps take way longer to render than 8bit? And would it be impractical to use Adaptive and 16 bit maps on low poly geometry? Like a single polygon plane?

Great examples Tim and jomaga nice work guys.

One more if you guys don't mind.. a 16bit landscape greyscale map generated with and exported from World Machine. Displaced a 16x16 poly plane in C4D with Maxwell 1.6, rendertime was about an hour.



This is what the map looks like, although fullres is 4096x4096 pixels, 16bit.
