Painted metal texture needed

Painted metal texture needed

Postby holmes1977 » Thu Oct 13, 2011 7:26 pm

Hi all
I'm looking for a texture like the one in this picture done by Sharek. I'm using Thea and Vray to render. I presume its just a bump map and reflection map. Does anyone have anything like this they would like to share.

I've cobbled textures together for this before but never come up with anything I've really liked. In kerkythea a mix of procedurals isn't too bad, but I'd be interested in a good texture myself.

I'd also be interested in a texture similar to this (camera surface).

Pete shared a great plastic thea material awhile back. I'll try hunt it down as it has a great bump for this stippled look

For stippled look you naturally need a suitable bump map. But you can use the same bump maps as a roughness map (or reflection/specularity/... -map, up to renderer). In Thea, the white part of roughness map do increase roughness, so you need to invert map.

@urgen
Question displaying maximum ignorance:

Since most of the textures are not tileable (and are not by their very nature possible to make tileable), how do you use them on a surface since they would create just a series of identical patches?

That's always my question as well.

...guys, this is Max Vray(Shareck hinted about it ) .... Wrap textures(maps) .... ... they are made in Max Vray, edited in Photoshop (I think use of plaster (stucco) wall texture), and inserted back into the render ...
