water on aspalt

[nodar1978]

hi, I'm doing exterior in 3ds max. could you give me advice how to do the water on a street to make scane more realistic? like a weather after rain.

just do some form and then give the reflection material or better to do something else?

thank you

in the past i did this by painting a sophisticated texture map in photoshop. after you have the texture done, you need to paint a reflection map and bump map that correspond to it. meaning that, in joint it is very reflective, then a layer of blotchy reflection to simulate the unevenness of concrete or whatever materials you are using. the reflection is painted in grayscale, where the white area is more reflective, and the black area is less reflective.

 

if done right, it will look like paving after a rain storm.

it's either in the A&D materials or the max9 mental ray materials .rar's . worth taking a look as his stuff is top notch

 

hope this helps

there is a vray material of the same on vray-materials.de ....if you can take it then you can study and implement on whatever renderer you are using

doron and maria, thank you very much for information, i'll try to do as you described here

thanks

look for a dvd from gnomon, it has some highways on the cover. uses vray as renderer.

Here's the link I gave to another member on a different thread that asked the same question:

check out this tutorial , at the end of it there's a tip for making that, with only standard blend materials, just replace them with vray mats:
