Thanks Tok_Tok... you have 35 BSDF's?

[Tok_Tok]

Yes that's the whole idea of this material. For every BSDF i use the same scratch map but turned 5 degrees. The test i'm rendering now has only 18 maps applied because
the scratches were to heavy and i can't find a good one with less scratches.

[caryjames]

Brilliant! Nice idea.... very simple but the results look super realistic!

[Tok_Tok]

Thank you!

These are the 3 main materials i'm uploading i think tomorrow. Maybe someone has some good suggestions to make them even better..?




So please, any c&c?

[Bubbaloo]

Those are great!!

[itsallgoode9]

i vote for #3. those look great!

[caryjames]

Those are EXACTLY the look I have been wondering how to achieve... absolutely fantastic idea and execution.

And.. thanks for sharing your process

[Seggy]

Darn those look good!....mmmm..... nice to see a small turntable animation and how the scraches react to the light
It would be good if they danced around like real scratches.
Good work!

[Tok_Tok]

Thank you all for the compliments!

Sorry i can'f afford the computer power right now. Other things need to be rendered But you are welcome to try it.

I'm not uploading the materials to the MXM gallery because the textures are 86 Mb. But i'm hosting them on my own webspace, for everyone on the forum here.
As soon as Next Limit adds a rotation setting to the MXED i'll upload the material to the MXM gallery. Or is there a good reason why they won't..? (i get no response to this question )

This is the package (3 materials)

Btw i think these are the building blocks for any (naturally) scratched material. So also for plastic and glass for example. (doing a test now )

[Fernando Tella]

Thanks a lot Tok-Tok!

I'm wondering if all those maps could be mixed into one somehow...

[tom]

Now i rotated the map 35 times in photoshop,

That's just a suicide > http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... 16#p271616

[Tok_Tok]

I know. That's why i asked why MXED doesn't have a rotation setting in the UV box. Or would maxwell mess up the image aswell?
Reading the topic you send me it's just a photoshop flaw and doing it correct via Maxwell wouldn't be very difficult. If i understand it correctly

This is clean glass with a roughness of 5. Uses the same scratch map as the chrome:

[tom]

Or would maxwell mess up the image as well?

Maxwell is not that sophisticated, yet.

[Tok_Tok]

Sounds promising. Hopefully it gets that sophisticated with 2.0.4.0

[Fernando Tella]

I would find that feature useful too sometimes. Map rotation, I mean.
