Title: First Material Graph Try
Post by: nachoriesco on November 19, 2015, 10:54:34 AM
Hi all! thsi is my first attempt with the new Material Graph feature, I like it opens tons of possibilities to set up materials, something that I love!

Taking the oportunity, is there any way to use the Curvature Texture combining two different materials? for negative and/or positive surfaces? in example, I want to get a mate surface on the negative and a polished surface on positive, any tips or advices about it?

Thanks is advance!  ;)

This is the Graph layout:

This graph thingy is one of the few things i haven't played with.  Got to give it a shot.

Beautiful! All the new material possibilities seems to really leverage people's renderings!

Create one of your materials as the base material. Then apply the other as a label and use the curvature as a opacity map. See attached. Not the best looking example, but an example nonetheless :)

Let me know if it works.

Looks quite logic Esben, I'll try it and post the results, thanks!

This is what I get, I think that works ok, it was what I was looking for. At end has been abit more complex to achieve, thanks Esben for show me the way!  ;)
Material is available to use on KS Cloud, named as "NR Rusted Silver"

Very nice!

To more finely control the Curvature mapped opacity, I tend to connect the Curvature texture node to a Color Adjust and a Color Composite node.
See attached example.

Maybe on that model is hard to see the difference between the mate (negative) and polished (positive) surface, that is what I try to achieve

Here is what it looks like without the labeled material.  ;)

Awesome results on the rings! Also, nice visual 'how-to's' from those who chimed in. This is a good thread. Would be nice to bookmark and come back to later... is that a feature on this forum? Could be cool...
