Map change question

[frank1331]

I have a concrete map that I am using and are happy with the way it looks,(using it in the diffuse color slot) but I now need to create some colored versions of this map for use in a project; ie redish colored concrete, blue etc.

What is the best way to go about this? I was thinking to just add a mask to it in Pshop then merge the layers together. I just wasn't sure if there was an easier way.

u cud do it in max, change ur concrete map to a mix map (keep material as sub material).

u shud c 2 slots 2 materials (ones ur concrete). in the other 1, apply a blue texture (or use another map, ie smoke) and adjust the mix amount until ur happy.

other than that, i wud sugest photoshopping ur texture. might b easy jus 2 play wiv the levels.

hope that helps
