Hello, trying for a decaying, diry gross looking tex or mat for this outfit... here I used rdna's rusty mats but it's not the look I want! Anyone seen any CLOTH type textures or mats that are dirty and old looking?? Any help ond advice is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!! Gerard

On the left an "iron" mat, the right the rusty mat... if there was a way to sort of overlap the two that would be cool... any ideas??

If you have a look in tutorials I posted something like this a while ago. You'll need p5 or 6 cos you need the materials room. The basic process is 1. load up your model and texture. 2. Add a marble (or cloud node) to the material and attach it to the diffuse socket. 3. Connect the image map to the color channels on the mable/cloud node. 4. change one of the colours in the marble/cloud node to white and the other to a light grey. When you render the texture comes out kinda dusty. For a rusty tecxture Id suggest using a cloud node, with white and a brownish red colour. You'll have to experiment to get exactly what you want. You can experiment with other shader node of course :) anything you can plug your image into more than one texture. John

look in rndas freestuff. While it's not cloth, these textures might work.

Thank Fugazi & Sparky!! I use the rdna mats for everything!! I just wasn't able to get the look I'm after with them!! I'm confident now after reading Fugazi's tut that I can get the look I want with the cloud/marble node thing! Thanks again guys!!! Gerard

No Problem, hope it works out for ya. John
