Material help.

I want to make a car tire shader

however, I am banging my head on how to make it more procedural.

I want to drive sidewall via the vertex map and dirt on the main surface via another vertex map

How do you set up vertex maps in corona c4d

Ideally, I want to be as procedural as possible so I can reuse it on different tires.

I made one for octane but struggling for Corona

any ideas/recommendations or examples I could follow?

Thank you

Take a note:
Always show your current W.I.P along with visual references of your intentional goal and, if possible provide your "look-dev" scene.
Otherwise we're all wasting time with guessing... and merely expressing personal opinions.

Also, check "Cosmos" library and other resources... e.g. https://www.corona-materials.de/en/material-library/-

Yeah, my bad.

Basically here is what I did in Octane some time ago.

Basically, the idea is to make the same in Corona. I have piped in a ton of different noise maps to generate various different layers of dirt and linked gradients to them to have variation in dirt

Currently, in corona I have bog standard tire material with nothing fancy

100% The new bendy decals are AMAZING! Perfect for this and done in no time :-)

I was hoping to avoid doing that with decals but looks like it will be he way
