Thread: brushed metal shader | Forum: Carrara

deedub ( ) posted Wed, 14 July 2004 at 5:47 PM

Nomuse: The tutorial I'm referring to is the first ("Texturing Part One') of a series of three by Brian Hinton. I believe it was in the Feb. 2004 3DXtract e-zine. Brian put his e-mail for questios on the tutorials in so I'll give it to you: bnh2@comcast.net. After you designate the shading domaines in the vertex modeller, he has you make a 'layers list' and then select Parametric mapping in the multichannel shader below. This opened up a list of all the little domaines on my logo object. There are so many because I'm going to make an effect of heating and cooling with gradients...I hope. Mark: The 'brushed chrome' still doesn't map well, so I'm off searching photoshop tutorials for a technique to paint 'brushed metal.' I look forward to mastering this 'shader domaines' thing. One step at a time. deedub

Thanks for the reply Mark. I don't know why that photoshop technique won't stay in my aging brain. I'm learning more and more about the UVmapping in C3 (thanks to some fine tutorials in 3DXtract) and will try it in this case since I have specific thoughts about which way I want the 'grain' to be oriented on the 'logo object.' I'm messing with Bryce, MOJO world and Carrara terrain to make two panoramas for a background to the animation right now, so it'll be a while. (Don't have the cash for terragen right now.) Man, a model's not much use without the right textures. deedub

DUH! Would you guys mind posting a reminder on how to make seamless textures using the 'offset' feature in Photoshop? I knew how to do it and, dang, I forgot how. deedub

May I humbly suggest that your fine work would benefit from a little more swivel at the pelvis. I've studied the way my dogs walk...nope they're not bi-pedal. But I notice that their pelvis does a side-to-side lift as the leg comes off the ground and swings through the air. I'll shaddup now. deedub

Dumb newbie question...Do any of you folks know a good source of info on using bones in Carrara 3? I'm dealing with some of the same questions for one of my little projects: the human character has to interact with props made in Carrara, ultimately to be finished in Carrara for the superior lighting and textures. I'm on a Mac so I can't use phi-builder etc to set props up once they're imported into Poser. thanks, deedub

Attached Link: clapper board

I'm back asking for more details...if I can comprehend the answers. I have zero programming knowledge. I'm scamming for a decent used PC so I can use 'PhiBuilder', which worked on the old brokendown PC I got hold of. (It died.) So. I've built a simple object in Carrara, a movie slate or clapper board, to export to Poser. It only has 3 parts and the only movement is the stick on a hinge. Should I run it through Steve Cox's UV Mapper? "I found it more straightforward, when trying to build a heirachy from scratch, to use the Spawn Props routine to split out the groups, then Create New Figure, save that and do a quick edit to point back to the external obj file." Could you elaborate on the 'spawn props routine' for this Poser beginner? The link below is off topic (textures) but shows the clapper object.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll build some simple objects and experiment. I have TransPoser...it's good. I want to make poseable objects in Carrara for Poser, that is, go in the other direction. You're right, lights are awful in Poser. deedub

The Barbarian looks good! I found I need to read those dialogue boxes and think a little. I was being informed that Transposer couldn't locate my Poser 4. I showed the path, closed Carrara and re-opened it and now it works fine. I was nervous of converting casman to a vertex object to get his hierarchy...and delighted to find a complete UV type layers list available when I opened his texture shader. I aadmit to complete naievete when it comes to Poser. deedub

OK. I need to use a poser guy in a Carrara animation. I converted the poser figure (just 'bizman' to keep it simple) to a dot obj file. I asked to keep the hierarchy intact and it worked. I confess I don't know how properly to get Carrara to see the textures exported with the dot obj file. Anyway, when this didn't work, I remembered Mark's recent advice re the UV texturing in Carrara 3. I'm sure there's tons of strings about how to do this but I haven't been following them. I began opening items of the bizman hierarchy and discovered that under the the 'layers List' shaders, sure enough, there were all the Poser file parts, with their proper names. I referred the ,er shirt I think, to the 'bizman.pict' texture map, took it into Photoshop and painted stripes on the tie. They rendered! Now it's gonna take some time to assign all those little domains for the clothes, but it looks like this will work. The skin textures seem to be rendering as if covered by a partially opaque white layer, but they're there, too. Yikes! deedub

Howdy! I tried your flag and my mapping is way off. The original file (PSD) from Illustrator is 604x371 pixels by 95ppi. Any thoughts on why it's mapping so large? Deedub

I just want to say how very cool it is to have a Carrara users community out there to help solve the little problems I encounter! I tried the photoshop technique and spoke "BEAUTIFUL! JUST BEAUTIFUL" out loud. I'm modelling a 'virtual kitchen to demo different wood finishes on a cabinet builder's product. This tiling is essential, and I'm very thankful. I'll post the result when it's done. BTW, I find my modelling skill has taken a giant leap with Cararra Studio 3 as compared to the old RDS days. David

Firstly, I forgot to credit Simon Moir, whose model is offered at Turbosquid.com-terrific, EXPENSIVE pro models. I've not messed with lighting or placing this car yet-just threw up 4 bulbs. (That must have hurt! HA!) The flames are starting to look like they belong. I used your 'grouping' suggestion and was then able to use the uvm dot jpg file that Simon included: I couldn't come close to it in any mode, planar, box etc. I look forward to the completion of my own little car model.
