In case you didn't have your head stuck a couple pages into another thread...made up this mat to try and simulate bubble wrap. Maybe someone can use it or take the mat farther.

The scaling may have to be greatly tweaked to get the right effect (+6% to +150%)

Have fun with it!

Crikey that's a small file ! Thanks!

Renderosity could create shader library... this could be great for all users. I saw one in the Modo site (Luxology).

I changed it all around... Not necessrily for better... I tried that idea with another semi-transparent object underneath to simulate the thicker base plastic the bubbles sit on.

I like yours better, it's all nice shiny and new!  ;)

Whowoulldda thunk this bublewrap would take on a life on it's own!

Perhaps Bryce 6 will ship wrapped up in it ;P

Lol, to know my textures is to know I like everything dirty, scratched and if possible, rusted!

I'll get back to the wrap sometime, and dirty it up. :oD

My kitties can volunteer some scratch marks.
They're not too picky about what mat's they scratch. Hands, feet, crpets, paper, wood, walls, drapes, furniture, cardboard...  
They're good for dirtying things up!  Need a haired-up messy denim mat? Lemme take a photo of this morning's load of laundry. :b_funny:

Excellent little mat AS! Now, do you happen to have any styrofoam "peanut" texture-mats lying around?

Only bubble wrap came in this package.  :o

There used to be a little app/macro/flash thingy where you could pop bubble wrap in a virtual kinda way.......

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!

This is uber! I'm curious as to how it was made. I haven't opened or used the mat yet.... just posting this first so maybe my curiosity will be answered with some investigation.

--Death_at_Midnight

 

It's almost embarrasingly simple, in a way....
well, except for getting the transparency, reflection and refraction just right.
When I looked at what Agent Smith did, I smacked myself on a forehead and muttered to myself... I should have thought of that. Duh!
Buuuut.... Like I said, tweaking it to get the  the reflections etc just right is the hard part.

Agent Smith did a wonderful job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty simple.

I made a greyscale image in Photoshop of a raised "dot", basically its just a circular gradient. Since I knew I would be scaling this up anyways in Bryce, why make it any larger than one dot?

I adjusted the "levels" of the image by very slightly cranking up the white in the image, I knew as a bump, this would give the dot more of a flatter top with a slight ridge rather than a perfect half dome. This falls in line with most of the bubble wrap I have seen. (but not all - I actually have seen perfect half dome bubble wrap)

Then I applied it as a bump to a glass material, "Crystal" I think...which is actually the wrong refraction level, but with the bump, it looked kinda correct to me. I scaled it up a little to repeat the bump across the surface, it still looked a little too perfectly "ordered", so I changed the textures Y axis to 45 degrees.

That's it.

Now when I have time, I'll attempt to;
-Dirty it up, and give some of the bumps a popped look.
-Try and duplicate the original mat using only Bryce's DTE.

Ahhh, I see. You too have a tad of a masochistic streak ;)

Nah....it shouldn't be too hard actually to make the clean version. I know of a mat that I made some time ago that uses a bump similar to the bubble wrap, I just have to dig around and find it.

And, if made in the DTE, the bump will wrap better.

Heheh, yeah, I figured that when I opened it and had a look. I was a bit enthusiastic when I posted my comment before looking at the mat. I modified it to have smaller bubbles. It's pretty cool/clever. Good stuff this mat! Thanks a bunch!
