Idea for Material library

[Archangel]

Hi!. This is my scene for material library. It is far, far from perfect. It need lot of fixes. But it is some start.
I think is good for first atempt, and i hope that someone else will tray to make own material in this scene.
Scene included in atachment. Enjoy!!!.

[Tweekazoid]

it would be beneficial if you make the scene with 3point light setup.
And maybe some form of color coded floor (like grey scale 0 - 25 - 75 %) or RGB stripes.

But all and all good idea that should be encouraged

[Chakib]

The idea is good and i think it will be possible after some time due to its importance.

But   i don't like the model test here !

[Archangel]

:). Whell... As i say. Model is far away from perfect, and it is not nesesary to use it. It is only idea, but ofc i can make diferent model and enwironment for material scene.

Maby someone else can make another model, beter, fancyer and so on. I promise that my next model will bi beter. Maby we should make some litl chalenge for material scene?.

[Ondra]

i like the general direction of the idea!

[Juraj]

I would not re-invent wheel for the sake of originality, model and lightning has already been done best by Bertrand.
I understand each renderer features the logo heavily but it's everything but practical..

Here's BBB3Viz scene (free) which features color contrast, strong and weak shadows and sharp HDRi reflections. Can't beat this.

[yagi]

nice but what material is this suppose to be??? and wheres the link to the scene file???

I had opened a discussion like this some time ago

http://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,764.msg5780.html#msg5780

and I think the model must have the characteristics of flat surface and rounded with variable thicknesses and scales to evaluate the dispersion.
Jeff Patton's model is excellent to evaluate the materials . is a good starting point to create the model of Corona.

Beltrands model for me is too simple.. because is difficult valuated some particular material aspects.. like how it behaves on flat surfaces or to setup the absorption

Fully agree.

[JoseJoaoSantos]

Anyone has the Jeff Patton's model mentioned before? I would appreciate a link to download it.
Trying to make a Corona material test scene and that model looks nice for testing as you said.

[Alessandro]

I think to remember you can find it in Jeff blog, http://jeffpatton.net/blog/

[JoseJoaoSantos]

Well I just found a reply from him saying:

"The material lab scene is available for download at mrmaterials.com
Link: http://mrmaterials.com/resource-central.html"

But since the mrmaterials.com is down I can't find any other way to download it.
If someone has downloaded it before please share! ;)

Hi Guys,

here's my contribution.
It's the Vraymaterials.de model by the way.



info : 3dsmax 2012
Scene file attached.

[hglr123]

Here is my contribution - for matlib model.

It's Real World UV mapped.

[Chakib]

Maybe a model test contest will be a good idea ! ;)

[maru]

Yeah, how about a contest that won't end on announcement? :P

[Archangel]

My new, improwed model and scene, for material library! :) .

[maru]

my attempt

[eungen]

@Archanghel  +1

[michaltimko]

I did one 2 years ago for Indigo renderer but it was never accepted as matdb model. I should re-do it for Corona ;)

[Archangel]

@Maru niceone ;).
@Michaltimko. Hmm very profesional ligting in your scene. I like it wery much. Maby i will use some of your ideas in my scene ;).

Some new semples with my at diferens streng of ligts.

[Chakib]

michaltimko : Go for it man !

[michaltimko]

Converted to Corona. I need to adapt logo and other stuff. Some random tests:

[tonilluch]

I think you need more flat parts to see material aplied on flat.

[yagi]

i think archangel wins for now untill someone can come up with something better than jeff pattons. lol

[maru]

Archangel's model is fine but I don't like the ball-floor proportions and that glowing Corona text.

[lmikkelb]

Agree with maru!:) maybe remove the text, and make the logo area smaller?

[Archangel]

Agree with both. I think that logo area is big and text; whell u can change materiall from emision to other , but i will remowe that text.

[Juraj]

Michal's model is finally something sensible. I like it. Only suggestion I would have is make the numbers less contrasty, just slight grey difference.

Jeff Paton's version is good too.

All the other, I don't think you mean it seriously, like no offence, but that is just horrible in design. I can't even take it seriously in slightest sense. It's so ugly it hurts my eyes. It's not even practical or anything. It takes huge amount of space and would not even show the texture properly. Just random collage of ugly shapes.
No one would take Corona seriously if it would tie itself with such amateurish crap that looks like something 4years old kid scrambled on paper with his left foot.

Sorry for putting it so straight but I someone need to say it. I don't mean it badly, so again, no offence to all who try, but please, be a little bit in reality and make self-reflection when it comes to your design ability.

Cheers, peace

[Archangel]

Ok i will say again. I think that Michaltimko hawe best model until now here, with exelent UV maping, and texture size mesurement, even scene is just right as need to be, but honestty he need litlbit to calibrate lights in his scene, and some minor things. How hi sayd to change logo to mach corona renderer.

But that not mean that other people no needs to giwe they contribution to this atempt to make good scene for material library.

I cnow  wery well what is wrong with my model and scene, so when i get some time i will tray again, and again, to make my model and scene perfect ;) .

So try to be litlbit gentle with the comments. Anyway!. On the end we will chosse best solution.

[Ludvik Koutny]

I think it would be little bit of a shame to use Indigo's. But Maru's recent one looks quite good :)

[lacilaci]

Well, I tried to do one too... it's a solid/nurbs(body object in max)...

I added my converted .obj and also .stp so that you can import and adjust the desired quality and convert again....

However, this way might not be optimal, so take it just as an idea. :)

[lmikkelb]

I like that!
You can see the inside :)
I think the texture area is a bit to smal , and the logo might be to big? I will try to contribute myself:)

I guess getting an impresion on how the shader looks on different surfaces/shapes with different lightning is important?

What is the most important/practical features in this thing, do we have a list?:D

[lmikkelb]

I would not re-invent wheel for the sake of originality, model and lightning has already been done best by Bertrand.

Here's BBB3Viz scene (free) which features color contrast, strong and weak shadows and sharp HDRi reflections. Can't beat this.

I agree with this, :) could maybe use a modifier on it :p  do we need the logo on the model?

[Volden]

This is my shader test model, which I created a couple of month ago.
I`m working with mental ray for a long time and that`s why at first it was created with mr logo

[Archangel]

Amazing material model ;).

[Volden]

Can`t upload the model.
It weights almost 19 Mb.
You can download it here:

Hello Volden

ahahah

...I wanted to say that you're grand!

sorry for my incorrect English

Can the stainless steel here be downloaded from the CML-pages?
