3D Max Material Composition Tips

I will putting here all the materials composition tips. Materials that are so rare and hard to achieve. If you have a reqeust, just post it here.

just go on sir.... ganda tong mga tutorials mo....

ok to sir ah, very helpful itong ganitong thread....

sir request sana ako ng pool na may caustics, ung usually na nagrereflect sa ceiling!!! TIA!!

coming sir, stay tuned lang.

mga sir parequest naman hehe... meron po ba ditong marunong magtexture ng mga cartooney characters na katulad ng mga toons ng disney pixars? papost naman po ng tutorial(s) regarding dun kahit yung pagpepaint lang ng proper textures para maachieve yung ganung kulay.... natry ko na po sa vray and mentalray yung default materials lang na nilagyan ng falloff + proper lightings for toons (i guess) kaso lang di ko padin maachieve yung pixars feel (lalo na sa skin), kaya naisip ko na siguro nga kelangan ng bonggang bonggang texturing para dun hehehe.... so please, pahelp naman po kung marunong kayo nun.... thanks in advance!!!

Depende yan kung anong gusto mong i-achieve. You can do in in Max or vray out of the box. I am referring to 3D cartoons and not toon rendering ala finaltoon. They are two different ballgames. Pero bago ang lahat - pakipost mo ang ginawa mo. It's easier to learn from your own works if you know what went wrong.

Paki post ang gawa mo at ng makita natin kung ano ang hinahabol mong look at kung saan may dirperensya ang materials mo.

BTW, Speaking of 3D cartoons, aside from design - 80% of the total look is driven by lighting.

From OLDWORKS

From OLDWORKS

The above samples were done using falloffs for diffuse, simple skylight for GI and one direct light. All diffuse colors are max mats except for those that would have texts in them.

thnks for the headup vertex..

to setheichel
actually there are a lot of ways to do what you want, its on the compositing procedures, light, materials

here one example i have done using toonshaders in scanline rendering.

@sir v_wrangler ito po yung 2 sa mga attempts kong toon rendering sa vray na ginamitan ko rin po ng falloff maps sa diffuse map:






at ganito naman po sana yung want kong maachieve:

BTW, Speaking of 3D cartoons, aside from design - 80% of the total look is driven by lighting.

yep, pero pano naman po ang texturing? may idea po ako sa unwrapping uv's kaso di ko talaga magets yung procedure nila sa mga ganyan klaseng toons ... hmmm sa rendering naman, I think madali na para sakin na alamin yung iba't-ibang klaseng techniques since ayun lang ang hilig kong pag-eksperimentuhan sa max...

@sir render master, ahhh... parang semi cel shading po pala ang output pag ginamitan ng finaltoon hehehe... thanks, kahit papano nagkaron ako ng idea kung anong meron sa finaltoon

edit: waaah ang galing ng finaltoon renders dito http://www.finalrender.com/gallery/v/finalToon/

Well, I do not think I am even worthy to dissect works from the biggies.

So I can only share how I manage doing my own works:

I always add a tint of red to areas of skin that might have translucency, I do this by painting a B&W mask to distinguise the regular skin from the reddish skin. I do not paint skin btw, its all falloff driven diffuse

As for lighting - it has been an unconscious tradition because perhaps it looks nice to our senses - shadows cool and highlights warm. Like when the sun is low, it casts a warm light and shadows appear blue. This particular contrast makes skin look nice and dull ones interesting. Also try to emphasize distance, either by lighting or dof or fogging environments.

Lastly, you might want to lessen more of the boxy straight line feel. Try to break your lines. Randomize. The freedom of line flows make cartoons - cartoons.

sir 2long naman...dpt ko po bang itrace ung mismong korte ng tao bgo ko ipasok sa max? or may ibang way para hndi makita ung background khit mag import ako ng jpg na tao with background? 2long naman po tnx

what do you want here sir, gusto mo i-cut out ang human figure. elaborate mo pa sir kung ano gusto mo mangyari here. kung need mo ng cut out human figure, meron tayong mga link here. >>>CUT OUT PEOPLE<<<. or kung gusto mo naman parang naka mask puedeng gawin sa render elements, or if you want goggle for this rendemask plugins...

with this, puede ka gumamit ng camera motion blur.... or kung sa photoshop naman try this one >>>Moving People<<<

if you need more info, it will be on the 3dmax tutorial section soon stay tune lang sir...

sir marami pong salamat...nxt tym ulit..tnx

sir kelangan ko po tulong nyo about curtain material or mga tulad ng gantong materials, gusto ko po kcng machieve ung manipis na tela ng kurtina ung tipong tumatagos ung light papasok sa interior,, eto po render test ko gami max 2008 at vray 1.5.

salamat po in advance masters

ganito ba sir need mo
