An exercise in using multiplied roughness maps... no diffuse/colour maps used

Wow!  Multiplied as in "stacked" or are nodes "doubled"?

Impressive work J - That's some seriously good materials work dude

Cheers Martin and Bill !!

I suppose they are stacked and doubled, meaning that the output of a roughness colour composite node (2 maps multiplied) is then the input for another colour composite node (2 maps in overlay mode)

I haven't installed the latest ks6... are you telling me we can now apply textures as multiply 'layers' etc (like photoshop and others)?

nice results btw!

Hey Edwardo

I'm not mixing two completely different materials here, although that sort of can be achieved using labels.

What I've done here is blended two image textures using the colour composite node, this node allows the mixing of two textures using blending modes (screen, darken, overlay etc) and opacity sliders. Hope I'm not teaching my granny how to suck eggs here

I then went one step further and used the outputs of two separate blends as the input for another colour composite blend.

Bear in mind though, that these were roughness only, nothing used in the colour slots

A clean one... well almost

Hmmm...  "Ultrasonic Cleaning".  Is that a new tool in KeyShot 6?  Just kidding!  Like it better dirty!

Dang! So good!! Great use of the roughness maps.

Very, very, very interesting. Images look really nice.
What are the render times ( approx) and how many cores you use?
Just curious.

[Despot]

Hey Djorzgul

Render time was 15 minutes using 8 Cores (Intel 4790 K Overclocked)

Appreciate your comment

That's neat render time for a picture like that.
