made this little guy while zbrushing/doodling -
- now the material is all procedural but in 3dmax - is there ever going to be a way to upload those into LifeDB ?

- I've used a bit of dirt there, turbulence and falloff for the diffuse an marble for the bump, brings out the details quickly

- also a bit of a run at the water scene from previous post - I just made a quick moby dick, now it would be cool to do one underwater

This isn't even my final form..

Nice, i like!

Excellent. Really greats tests.

Wow - really nice made renders / models..

maybe one should just try zbrush or mudbox for fun..

do you know if sculptris is any good?

I would love to see the metal ones in LiveDB!

- sculptris is great, I recommend it, the guy that made it works for zbrush now - it's the best way to learn zbrush, just use big move brushes for the primary shape, and sculpt on, you can transfer to other applications via goz (including zbrush) that is built into all of those.. mudbox is great, the UI is something you are more used to, but zbrush is the mother of all IMHO, and is more fun once you get the hang of it..

- and I would also like to add the metal material to octane database - but I have to transfer it all frrom 3dmax to octane standalone, and not sure how to upload from there anymore..
- another thing is, it acts differently on different size models - this was actually to big of a scale - and the procedural noise is not good for animation unless the object is static.. found out after doing a turntable - noise stays static

- but basically add subtle noise to all levels, for reflection, mix it in with falloff and dirt, and bump.. then set it to glossy index of 1 - my setup got very complicated very quickly..
- change the glossy index and get the dirtz

It seems in Octane 1.5 it will be possible to convert Plugin setups to Octane files.

"To allow plugins to hide the complex node setups they create in a node graph so that they will eventually be able to export a scene into an OCS file that can be opened and used in Octane standalone."

yes.. that's what I read as well.. until it comes out
anyways - here's a node setup - I guess for all of the materials, the trick is in combining the fallofs with dirt and noise - objects get that much more expression - I think I'll try and use this kind of setup for everything

nodez: end up with something like, all using the same node setup and all of above
