Wow, sublime rusty iron!!! Both are perfect.

Thanks hyltom i'm glad you like them both. They took a while to create.. all Saturday long.

It seems that there is a rust conspiracy on these forums.

Where have those rust materials gone?

[Hervé]

rust >> dust >> wind....

There's a problem guys, sorry. But i removed them to not cause more trouble than it's worth to keep them posted here and on the MXM Gallery.

I worked some more on the humanskin shader, it's far from perfect and this has to be one of the most difficult materials i ever attempted creating. :/ not sure i can do this one realistic enough.

Max, I think it's still a little too pink and uniform. Keep going!

[Maximus3D]

True that Bubba, i'll keep on finetuning it. But it's damn difficult to create, atleast i think so.. it's either to pinkish or to darkbrownish/greyish looking.

I recall seeing an interview with one of the guys from a major animation studio (can't remember which one) and he showed how they created realistic looking skin shaders. The shaders had about a dozen different layers; blood, veins, dermis, epidermis, etc. It was crazy complex. I honestly have doubts that it can be accomplished in Maxwell using one surface and a shader. It seems like it needs multiple layers of modeled surfaces with multiple shaders. Don't get discouraged though, if anyone can do it, it's you!

The skin Detail (cracks) is really good nicely done! Have to agree with Brian on the skin colour! - You'll crack it Max you wait and see

Hehe i know what you mean Bubba, skin is a multilayered surface with many subdermal layers of veins, fat and skincells that stack up to a full skin surface. It's what makes it a real bitch to reproduce with Maxwell. But i remember "Mahai" he made a pretty good looking darkskin shader not long ago. Wonder if he had more success with it since then..

Usually you don't model all the different surfacelayers of a skin, that would require a infinite amount of work hehe, but you have a complex shader like the one for mental ray that very nicely simulates all the layers of a human skin with different absorption and properties and maps for all layers. It's very powerful!



Btw Bubba, thanks!

Whoa!

[Maximus3D]

Bubba, hehe. I guess that image is you..

Here they are again.. rusty Maxwell madness!
