First Material Graph Try

[nachoriesco]

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"

Works pretty well!!

Here's one for enamelled if you want to give it a try

Works pretty well!! 

Keith Richards needs one of those.... :-)

I thought this WAS Keith Richards.

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

Hahahaha he can contact me whenever he wants!

Here is what it looks like without the labeled material.

Now looks like an standard Diffuse 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...
