Rain on asphalt

[Krisztian Gulyas]

I'm amazed by those images where there's water on the road/pavement just after the raining stopped, but i don't know how to create it, how to create the reflection and the wet looking surfaces.

If you know a website or tutorial where it is shown or you can simply write down the process, I would greatly appreciate it.

Just deconstruct that material. In essence, you use a puddle map to blend varying reflective surfaces together.

 

There was another tutorial explaining this in depth, but for the life of me I can't find it.

Oh, thank you very much, Scott. This helped me a lot. Thank you again.

No problem.

 

Here's one more in case you really want to dive deep into the theory, which it's always good to understand.

Blur even have ( or had ) an procedural, animatable raindrop map

It's in the complete pack ( Rain.dlt ):

use the one that fits to your Max version ( for Max 2010 and MAx 2011, plugins are interchangeable)
