**Texture Only**

Here is the settings for the texture without displacement. (which will be in the next post)

Trick#1
Carrara, unlike some other 3D apps, does not have a channel for occlusion textures – what happens when shadows/darkening rapidly increases where two objects intersect. So, I've created that ability by multiplying an occlusion texture map into the Color (diffusion) channel. 

Trick#2
To get harmonious color, I've duplicated the Texture Map into the Highlight channel and reduced it's brightness to 50% so the color of the highlights matches the object colors, but not real aggressively. 

Trick#3
Creating a texture based Shininess map so 'logical' areas of the texture will simply be more worn/polished then the recesses of surface.
