Decorated pig

Hi Terry!
I tried to play with you mat (thanks... I'm gonna use your aging brick
). imho the problem is using the fractal texture for the refl channel. I added a bit of transparency (you won't notice it in my demo render due to the white background...) to create some sort of fake SSS, and checked the fresnel opt.
it's not there but you can enhance it for sure
cheers,
Alessandro

Thanks Alessandro, I'll play around with your material and see if I can polish it a little. :icon_thumbup: :smile:

hey terry, when i render your brick mat on the default pig it looks not like brick but more like the apples !
i wonder what pig scene do you use ?
maybe the cam light is on ?
i really think your mudpig is the happiest of all :smile:
anyways, here's my take on the toffee:

@ alessandro:
you're making lots of delicious stuff lately, whenever you post a new mat i feel like looking for the cookie jar :smile:
maybe we'll need some exercising after christmas...
@ andreu:
ingenious use of the pulse node !
this could be used for all kinds of *aged* materials, maybe with some different scaling on y for more directionality.

I'm still getting used to the node system.
Try a ceramic-texture to get to the cookie-jar look!

hm.
when i use your worn.brick mat on the default pig scenes in the cheetah examples folder i get this, already pretty close to the apple scene:
Not sure how you're getting those results, Archie. No lights, just camera light and HDRI. No radiosity etc.

i'm opening the pig example scene and delete the pink material.
then i load your mat from my community folder and drag it on the pig body in the object browser and hit render.
i did't change any of the settings.
now i wonder about your pig scene, definitely not the default scene.
when you use camlight, you get the flat look from a flash photo with no real plasticity / 3d feel.
that's no good approach to procedurals imho.
when you turn off the camlight your object will turn black and only the hdri reflections show up.
on the other hand you may be used to the camlight from your cartoony style work and maybe want to create the toffee look under this conditions ?
than something has to be faked so it does look like toffee under frontlight conditions, a not so simple task ...

terry, the problem arises from using camlight plus hdri-reflections.
here the reflections come from a totally different world/surrounding than the diffuse lightning.
for realistic lightning you need to check hdri background and apply ambient occlusion or radiosity and of course kill the camlight.
if you're after the camlight-look, well, it will never do realistic reflections.
you could use specular, but not with the carpaint shader.

... and your mud mat makes a really nice brown granite !

I see your point, Archie. Even though I'm using the pig I'm changing things by keeping the camera light on and not using Ambient. I'll keep that in mind for future mats.

after all this eating and drinking... better start the new year with some fruit
interesting use of the noise node, alessandro.
i tried to do spherical uv-mapping with this, looks right on a sphere but not on the pig because of the snout
also the pattern reminded me of a gas-planet, so i made one, and again it doesn't work with the pig...
