Viscorbel – Creating Old’N’Dirty V-Ray Materials

I’ll show you specific techniques to quickly create:

• Scratched edges
• Chipped edges
• Patina
• Polished convex areas
• Leaks
• Splashes
• Dirt
• Dust
• Moss
• Fading colors
• …etc

None of these rely on painting custom maps on top of the UVs – everything is done with some clever use of tileable textures, procedural maps and geometry specific masks generated right in 3Ds max. And the best thing is – the materials are easily reusable for any other 3d object! (No need to make the new maps from scratch)

Oh… btw
Since following this tutorial requires you to have a good understanding of the VRay material basics, I’m including my “Creating VRay Materials Vol 1″ for free 🙂

So basically I will show you some theory behind this advanced material creation process, then I’ll show you a bunch of quick techniques and finally I’ll also create 5 distinct materials from scratch using these same techniques, just so you can see how to put it all together.

Altogether it’s about 4 hours and 15 miutes of videos packed with information. The tutorial is fully narrated and obviously all the max files and textures are included.
