Great mats archie. I'll try and do a few more pigs soon so you don't get so lonely in here
thanks guys :smile:
i need your help on the wishlist too, pushing for new features :wink:
does anyone experience too that the new node preview works on texture but not math nodes ?
(update: accidentally i discovered that the previews can be collapsed by clicking on the output sockets, just before putting that on the wishlist, lol)
- alessandro, can i have that one for lunch please, it looks sooo delicious ! :icon_thumbup:

have been playing around with the directional node and found when combined with some structure and fed into blur or bump channels you can reach a pretty *used* look, unpolished kinda stuff with some marks shown.
View attachment stucco?.c3dmat.zip, View attachment usedsteel.c3dmat.zip, View attachment unpolishedsilver.c3dmat.zip

not yet... so you have to download each material from user posts and put it into your user folder /Library/ApplicationSupport/Cheetah3D/Materials... or if you have a .jas file rightclick on the material and SaveAs
cheers,
A

lol nice pic :smile:
i plan to provide a zip with all of my mats till an official collection starts off,
but i have to wait till i get a new mac in january where i will have the developer tools installed (my current macbook is stuffed), there is a possibility to make icons in there i read somewhere, when i have figured that out and have actually attached a big pig icon to each mat i will make them available.

Maybe we should have a material competition with say the top 30 materials (30 being an arbitrary number) as voted for by the forum users then those 30 being made available as a single download or update?
P.s. Funnily I dont have a Cheetah3D folder in my app support folder
...this makes using user created materials a tad hard :icon_thumbup:

hey jon,
this folder gets installed only in version 5, in v4 there is no support for user defined mats apart from having a file and according texture pics in a folder.

Hi Archie,
I've got version 5
Nevermind ...just means I'll have to spend some proper time with the material editor

are you looking into [yourusername]/Library or [yoursystemhd]/Libray?

I've got version 5
great, but then this folder should exist in your personal library (and your signature needs an update) :smile:

yay new participant !
thanks for joining in jon !
your concrete could well be used for entrance steps or the like and the lizard skin you could try on marty, frank's chameleon in the examples folder.
i see you use the turbulence a lot, try and play with the octave, lacunarity and gain settings, the default ones are rather odd.
now this is the decorated pig thread created by meshman, this means there is no incentive at all to create any remotely usable or realistic material, it's about pure fun exploring the vast possibilities of awkward node combinations, trying to come up with weird but impressive patterns.
going through this joyful experience you will learn more than attempting to mimic realism, the skills for that will come on the fly.
have fun and come back with more,

Ok, heres my first contribution. My take on a polished concrete surface. Hope its of use to somebody

My pleasure
It is a really fun way of learning about the material editor. I did do a gory "skinned" muscle material but Cheetah crashed when I tried to save it ...but as you say it was purely messing around and happened to "stumble" on that particular combination.
Im surprised more people haven't gotten involved.
