Loving This thread!! The felt on the hat looks good! did you use displacement? Your material libary is stacking up nicely!

Thanks! No displacement, just a little bump. I need to find the time to experiment with adding a little thinSSS to the felt material.

Here is a newly updated (for Maxwell 2) version of my rough stone tiles available on Turbosquid:

Here is a high resolution rough surface displacement map I made. You can use this map to get an uneven rough surface instead of the uniformity of only increasing the roughness parameter of the mxm. It can be used as a bump or displacement map. When using as a displacement map on a curved surface, you need highly subdivided geometry. The map is a 16 bit tif @ 4096 x 4096 pixels. Sample mxm is included. Click the link in my sig.




And a zoomed-in crop:


Edit: It tiles seamlessly too.

Very nice textures!

Thanks, Tom!


Here is a new material I made specifically for Maxwell 2's thinSSS. It's a high resolution flat grass texture, but with a little displacement and thinsss, it looks pretty realistic for covering large areas. Good for close to medium range renders. The map covers approximately 10' x 10' area, but it tiles seamlessly so it can cover larger areas without noticeable tiling.

Now wow!

Hi Brian, that´s awesome material, can you put a comparison render without sss to see the difference between both?

Cheers

Thanks a lot, guys!

JC, here it is without thinSSS. Just a subtle difference, but sometimes the extra 2% makes the biggest impact.

Hey everyone, here's the floor preview scene I used for the last couple of materials. In the scene, I have replaced the original floor that was made of 2 triangles, and replaced it with a heavily subdivided plane, perfect for testing flooring materials with displacement. If you think you would find it useful, here is the link:

Just put the floor_displacement.mxs file into the preview folder in the Maxwell installation folder. Enjoy!

Props to the original maker of the scene, whomever that might be. Tom? Mihai?

Thanks for posting it without sss, I put the images side by side and the difference is more than 2% , with sss looks more "alive" and bright, the render times are not so different right?

There is minimal difference. That's what I love about the thinSSS. It clears so fast!

Good job, Brian. It was courtesy of Mihai.

Thanks Tom. (and Mihai for the cool scene)


Here is a very high resolution concrete material (6000x6000 pixels). It has diffuse, specular at 8 bit jpg's and a 16 bit displacement tif. Great for close-ups and also covers large areas. Seamless and tileable. Real world scale is approx. 10' x 10'.
