I know I've seen this before, but now I can't find it.
Looking for a simple Clay material for rendering. I have PoserPro and Poser 8.
Thanks

New Node > Lighting > Diffuse > Clay

Hope that helps :)

Yes Alt Diffuse, but to be honest just experiment and see.

The Clay node will act just like Diffuse until you increase the Roughness.

Be sure to turn off the built-in diffuse ... set Diffuse_Value on the root node to 0.

Clay has little to no specular, so set Specular_Value = 0.

If you are simulating a somewhat polished clay, you will need some very broad and weak specular. If you are doing glazed clay, this is all wrong and you need one of my glass shaders.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

Thanks BB. No I'm going for the classic flat clay look in 3d renders.

so this will produce a clay render?
you'll need AO or IDL as well for the full effect.

By jove, I think I've got it. hows this? single clay node on the alt-diffuse. Diffuse and Specular set to 0. BB's Envirosphere, 2 lights, 2 raytracing shadow, 1 IBL/AO. Rendered in Poserpro.

the Mesh is my rebuilding of my Wellington Mark 1 Aether Propulsion Engine.

I think you can have the same result with a diffuse node, not only clay ... No ?
