Yep, I’m a complete newbie. I’m trying to put my own picture in the reflection map material and am having NO luck. I know I’m missing something easy – thought I’d ask anyway.
Thanks.
I think I’m trying to do the same thing.
How does one go about ‘super-imposing’ a picture into zbrush to use as a reference while sculpting?
If I am understanding your question correctly (and from one noob to another), I use a plugin called Image Plane. It creates a menu item on the Textures menu, where you can load and manipulate images to be used for reference (among other capabilities).
Do a search for it here.
Hope this helps…
To add an image to the Reflected Map material:
- Import the image into the Texture palette.
- Select the Reflected Map material and click on the ‘Modifiers’ submenu to open it.
- Click on the ‘S1’ shader channel.
- At the bottom of the Material>Modifiers submenu, click on the small ‘Texture’ square. Select the image you loaded at (1) from the popup.
- Adjust the Add Reflection & Sub Reflection sliders for the effect you want.
- For additional effects you can load another image into the S2 shader channel, adjusting the Reflectivity slider.
It helps to use a sphere while adjusting a material like this, to better see the results.
For using an image as a sculpting reference, if you are on a PC then the Image Plane plugin will help. See the Download Center:
I knew it would be simple.
Thank you.
