People involved in 3D modeling, in the process of their work, use a large number of specialized programs, including utilities that allow you to assign a certain texture to three-dimensional objects - a material. One of these utilities is the Vray rendering system. However, working with it for some novice 3D-modelers causes great difficulties, therefore there are certain algorithms to simplify the operation of this graphic editor.
Instructions
Step 1
The simplest material in a modeling program is plastic. Create an object and add a color to it, then assign a reflection to the selected material. A check mark next to the Fresnelreflection option increases the strength of the reflection, so the reflection will not be visible on the perpendicular plane. Click on white in the Reflect parameter and give a full reflection when looking at the subject at 90 degrees. If you want to blur crisp highlights, click on the Hilightglossiness counter. The blurring effect gives the simulated subject believability.
Step 2
In the metals category, choose one of its varieties: chrome, aluminum, polished or precious. These materials differ from each other in the degree of reflection. If you want to create a smooth mirrored surface, click the reflection button and select white. And make the reflection gray, black or blurry by setting the color on the Digguse button. Click on it and achieve high expressiveness. Using a golden hue creates a poor reflection. Also keep in mind that the look of polished steel isn't easy to make either. To create this kind of material, set the value of the Anisotropy parameter to 0, 9 and select the color glossy. You will end up with something that looks like a steel surface.
Step 3
The Refraction button is used to create transparent materials. Click on Fogcolor and select the color of glass or clear plastic from the list. The color tone depends on the thickness of the selected material. Or adjust the color by clicking the Refraction button. Check the box next to the Affectshadows parameter and tint the shades as you wish. Press the Thickness, Ligthmultiplier, Scatter and Fwd ck buttons to set the opacity of the selected material. The subject looks very realistic and is especially suitable for creating lamps, lamps and many other light sources.
