new metal materials

[jantim]

i made some metal materials that can be used for old & rusty mechanical parts.
The "eroded" version is a simple variation on the "noise"and "noise -radius "..in S2...i decided to post them both so you can use them together !
mecha03rusty.jpg

and the eroded version, this material "destroy's" most of the small detail making it look more...eroded.

and the materials !

.................................................. .................................................. .......

I've made a small update on my bronze..the "old" bronze had a tiling fault in S4.. and now that i have your attention its not a bad idea to correct this !

Thanks so much Jantim! Couldn't resist running the mat through an image of mine - your material is exactly what I was looking for at the time!

Cheers,

[marcus_civis]

Wow, these are wonderful. :tu: Many thanks for sharing. I really think that there should be a page somewhere with a collection of your materials. Pixologic? ;)

[Craig Ward]

I'm kind of new here and all I see is "*Jantim's materials*" everywhere.....So here's my first find: Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you. I'm off to look for more.
:D

[aminuts]

woo hoo Jantim is back!!

Awesome rusty metals...I do believe I have a few things that will greatly benefit from these.

In case no one else has mentioned it:rolleyes: Thanks!!!!

[Drummer]

jantim, my friend !! this is really cool !
material is wonderful !
congrats

keep up the great work :tu:

[DarthWayne]

I've never given 5 stars for a material before , but as this one is so stunning I do belive it deserves it! I agree that there really should be a thread just containing Jantims wonderous materials!! I'm shocked this hasn't been done already.

This material makes me want to go and make rusty metal things. :D

Wayne...

[lemonnado]

I made a machine far superior to yours Jantim. Then I pressed that button to see if it works... Well, it exploded... and here is what is left...

[dogbone]

Wow, Jantim,

Another top shelf material. Photo realistic.

Funnily enough it's right next to your equally impressive wood material (Meats's) on the top row.

[jantim]

tHANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR REACTIONS....i'm an iron-lover myself so what can i say other then : "Here's another one..." ...i tweaked this one from a stone like material, but now it looks kinda metaly .

wrenchffg.jpg

and i posted the light settings that i use the most in test-rendering materials

..and every part of all the renders is made and renderdered in Zbrush..

The mat monster, Jantim strikes back. Thanks for the valious gift

[Abyssis]

oh man, that's so cool:cool:

Jantim-maat, u r crazygood:tu:

kudos! again great materials! thanks for sharing

greets froyd

[vlad74]

Another amazing contribution. We are really happy you are part of this community Jantim. I wish you and to your family Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[Sebcesoir]

Ahhh! Top row! You deserved it, since the time you provide us great material!

Your testing scene is great too!

[Bas Mazur]

Some nice words from THE MASTER... and finaly a great Jantim shader comes up :-)
Thanks a lot my friend, I can use it! I had to do some commercial illustrations with rusty iron (big €), but I had problems making a good material.
This rusty iron looks much beter as the Ice-material you posted to make a fool of me. Great job!

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow this is one very cool material I see for a long time!!

haha Meats you should turn that picture into a newsclipping photo about some rare unearthed find.....future setting. Dateline earth.....today a science team from Jupiter was digging in what was once known as philadelphia and were amazed to uncover ..........:D

[Ron Harris]

A very fun mat...didnt get as good of results as the others but I am probably doing something wrong..I definitely want to play around more with it...thank you..here is the result of my playing...used it on a head model to get that helmet feel...

[Strannik]

wow, that's awesome :tu: many thanks ;)

[jantim]

Again thanks for your reactions , dear Zbrushers :tu: ..and for your renderings using the materials..now i'm just waiting to see the rendering that made Bas so many Euro's...if only i had known ...;)
To answer some questions : Ron : I render at 1280 -960 , set my sample at 8
and antialiasing at 1 or 2..in using the material you can't do anything wrong , i think..but perhaps in using more models that are angular and my "snake-oil" :"the black fog "..you can make an image more interesting !
Frenchy : The only material i set out to make was the bronze-material, the wood-material was an happy accident using the noise-curve ..settings..the rest is just a variation on the bronze -cavity shader-, and the wood - noise curve tweaking...but it is a lot of work to get it right !..the look of a material is also influenced by the size of the image and the settings for supersample and antialiasing...and using a surface-bump image is often a bad idea ..it can make the image look flat !
.................................................. .................................................. ..

in this material i use a surface bump image to control the amount of color\paint in the material in S4...and the color of the material in the cavity-color modifier in S3...there is some noise in the material but you can use bigger texture-maps in the color modifiers of the material .metaal01.jpg

So now anybody, even beginners can make crazzy materials :)
Just explore the funny cursor's regulates :D
You have shown the way ! :tu:

Thanks Jantim!!!!I'll your materials find very useful for my actual WIP.

If you wanna look at it here's the link.(You'll don't find nothing metallic for now but something coming soon maybe...).

Announcement:

I'm pleased to annouce that Jantim has agreed to let me host all of his materials in one place over at my site. This should make it easier for everyone to download any they are missing etc.. There's still a couple missing (as far as I am aware), one will be up later today, and Jantim's said he's going to redo his bronze material. As such I'll wait till he's got that up before putting it on the site.

Registrations required, but it's free, easy and really just to help counter spam and hotlinking (thus stealing bandwidth) from my site. If anyone is aware of any I've missed let me know and I'll be sure to add them.

I hope this helps.

[jantim]

...more work for you, Wayne ...;)

[DarthWayne]

Actually the gallery system I use for the resources section of my sites pretty good and does a lot of stuff automatically. So long as I have the time I don't mind. Hopefully it's a useful resource for people.

Wayne...

[vlad74]

Thank you DarthWayne and Jantim*****

[Noggin]

Thank you Jantim for your generosity and tweeking/and exploration on our behalf_ a true explorer!

[MrLearner]

wayne: eh, so how do i download the stuff from the page you linked to?

[DarthWayne]

Click on the material (or other file) that you want. Then just hit the download button. But remember you must be logged in. you can alos add them to a 'lightbox' which basically means when your finished it will zip everything you've added to it into one handy file for download.

Wayne...

[MrLearner]

ah, didn't realize I had to be logged in. thanks

[Yainderidoo]

Oh Oh...thank you for yet another pile of rust!!! Lovely....

I have a special place on my hd just for you Jan! Wat is er mooier dan een mooie bult roest...Hahaha wonderful ******

[Blaine91555]

Jantim and DarthWayne, thanks so much - very usefull stuff :tu:

[hyper1]

Jantim,
Whoa dude you've done it again!!! Thank you so... much for sharing! One question; what resolution did you do your rendering, the AA looks sweet!

[jantim]

Hyper1:..... Thanks, ..the documentsize was 1280x960, blur 100,edge 100, samplesize 7, supersample 1, and i used renderdephtcue intensity 100, softnes 3
and fog with intensity 84, color black .
I sometimes use a lower samplesize and a supersample of 2 or 3, but this depends on the material i use, some materials look better with high samplesize and some just lose detail with higher settings .

jantim

[tortilla1]

GAAF MAN !!!
...and some very cool modeling too (I mean considering I wouldn't have a clue
how to do that "hardbody" stuff in ZBrush :cry:

Can anybody point me to some good tutorials about how to create such complicated materials ? I mean I don't know much about them...hell I just discovered that those color buttons at the bottom of the material window
actually control something :)

And thanks for the look under the bonnet !!!

AM01Bronze.jpg

[Cadmium77]

The first one is indeed awesome. Thanks for the textures!

[jantim]

That's a good model of a head ,Tortilla 1...as for material making ..there must be some tutorials on this site..but you learn most by changing slidersettings on a material and see what changes and how these changes affect other channels..that the way i did it!..as for "hardbody " stuff,...you can get some interesting models by making a 3D model from an Alpha-image..just use" Alpha make 3D" from the alpha-palette ..and if the model is to "puffy" use a negative inflate to make it "harder.
This is the model made fom the alpha thats on the image

[tortilla1]

Cool man, thanks for taking the trouble, I appreciate that :tu:

Learned a lot from this thread but I'm afraid I've still only seen
10% of what ZBrush can do....I guess it's almost an organic entity...
like a brain....I sometimes think it has new buttons growing all by themselves:D


groeten !!!

[lemonnado]

Made a little Iron myself 8-)
I used it for the Letters. Your eroded one is the Background.

Thanks I'll Take it!
Hey Lemo,
It looks like sand cast metal, pretty cool.( do you ever sleep?)

P.S. thanks for the xsi advise!

[lemonnado]

Haha, I sleep on a regular basis. However, I never needed much.

My little rust mat is easily configured with another noise setting and another ambient color.

Jantim got me hooked on materials now hahaha.

Lemo

[Zworg]

Super cool materials! Phantastic !

Thank you very much for sharing.

[dangerweenie]

this is amazing!!! I've always wondered how to build such a complex scene in zbrush...do you tink you could give us some advice or tutorial as to your grouping and composing techniques...how do you put that scene together?

cheers again!!! great scene, and cheers to Jantim for the sweet materials

[GORILLA]

Awesome Jantim!!

[jantim]

Lemmo,Zworg, Gorilla...thanks....and great that you a making materials Lemmo !
Dangerweenie,..there's no complexity in Zbrush, it just eats those poly's like candy...there is not so much planning in these rendering as you might think !
The idea was to make a "sort of "machine..so i used pre-made primitive's and "alpha made 3D" stuff, i started bringing it in the scene piece by piece, no multi-marker stuff, i used the lights that i posted in this thread, and i used black fog to hide the things a bit in the background..i made the images for showing the materials, so i used only one layer ...and that all !..its all made " on the fly" there was no planning for the image .

That's a great model and material. Funnily enough it didn't dawn on me for a while but it's almost a dead ringer for me. My nose is a bit bent though.

Dear jantim:

Your textures have inspired so much work of mine that I thought it incumbant upon me to give you credit. I'm going to try to post some samples. potifar3.jpg ironflower.jpg

Hi Jantim,

I just came across this post with your rusty metal shaders. They look really cool and as I have a thing for metal and flesh renders, I thought I could use them. I just wanted to say thank you very much for thinking of all of us and posting them. Maybe one day I can return the favor.
Thanks again,
Kaci

[rikdaren]

Super awesome materials! You can never have enough Zbrush mats and these are really the goldmine-many thanks!

la84ada8...These materials were made for ZB2, so i'm not sure they look as good in the new ZB3 ?...The new render-engine does not work well with the settings of a lot of materials !

I'm bowing in front you Jantim... you are a Material Master! :D :tu:

[jantim]

From the reactions of new ZBrushers and some Veteran-users i must conclude that the materials still work with ZBrush 3... i have to download them if you all say that they are so good :) ...thank's for the tip !

-cheerZZZ-:cool:
Well, i'm enjoying ZB3 like most of you- crappy, for all of you Mac-heads:cry: -and i'm playing with the new Silo !
I lose/spend a lot of time tinkering with the MatCap materials...and as most of you i have made a lot of great looking plasic- and waxy looking materials, metals and wood materials are kinda tricky, i think you need more shaderchannels for that sort of stuff.
And i'm giving most of my ZB2 models an overhaul with the new brushes, if i decide to post it will be a material or a complete scene...got some idea's,but i have stacks of books i must read also, and a lot of DVD's to watch :)

jantim thanks so much for sharing your mats. can't wait to use them, with credit and cudos to u of course. keep up the great work and sharing. People like you are the reason I love ZBrush and central sooo very much.:tu:

Thank`s very much this is exactly what i was looking for!!!!

[Mr-NYM]

thanx I will check them out.

[jantim]

I'm afraid these materials will not work very well in ZBrush 4, they were made for Zbrush 2 :cry: ...the way the material settings worked is no longer the same for the newer versions of ZBrush...sorry !


jantim

[silvaticus]

Wow, what a good old thread!

If I did not 4-5 years ago, I want to thank Jantim now for these materials. Some of the old materials (combined with matcaps) still give great results.

[Bas Mazur]

Hey my friend, glad to see your reply on this thread. Yeah, times are changing like materials and software. It's going fast :D It comes and goes.

[rodrigo23]

I´m afraid these materials looks horrible in Z-brush4, quite sad since they look AMAZING in the poictures!!!!!!! Anyway thanks Jantin for inspire us to achieve those shaders!!!

[esepablo]

could you make these for z4? please

[tyrellcorp]

i wish i had read all of this thread..bizarrely the material shows up in the palette but not on the meshmat.jpg

[jantim]

.....the material has to be'best' rendered to show up...don't bother it will look like crap,...... like i said before it was made for ZB 2, i took pity on you, so i made a metal that can be used in ZB4

rust.jpg

...i hope you like it...it must be rendered in the "best rederer" to look good !

jantim


!

.................................................. ...................

you can render this material in the BPR..but you have to use a trick-at least on my laptop....first you do a best render, and with the render on the screen do a BPR..if you do a BPR first it will look as you can see on the picture below


how-to-render-BPR.jpg

.....
A is a BPR render, B is the best render and C is the best render followed by a BPR render
