Arroway Gravel Materials with Vray/3ds Max 2011

[Coolhand78]

Just purchased the Arroway Gravel vol 1 package and am wondering what is the best way to construct the materials with Vray in 3ds Max 2011?

 

i'd also like to know how to incorporate the edges, mask and AO maps...?

 

thanks for your help.

Well, I don't own them but presumably the basic material is set up in much the same way as all the other arroway materials.

 

As for the edges, mask & AO maps...

 

Not sure what the Edges map is for, however the Mask is purely for adjustments/selection in photoshop should you wish to change any of the stones colours, and the AO map would be used in place of a diffuse map, should you wish to increase the shadow darkness/detail without turning AO on in your scene I suppose.
