How the heck did this dude make that [link]
Also he used realflow, a 2500$ + plugin for the effect.. aside that, painting splines on mesh is easy enough, the only thing thats interesting is the precedual shader. You can layer several shaders atop each other in c4d (using alpha and putting several textures on one object) That way you can create very drastic bump differences completely procedual, without having to modify your "base" shader that much, you could even assign "fresnel" to alpha and have a interesting effect alone from that, or normal depending gradients etc...
Certainly i could try how that shader works in c4d , but not before im healthy again
You might wanna google c4d scripts/plugins , theres coffee plugins that do pretty much everything you want, including painting splines "on a mesh" Its possible to do this by hand btw.
Thnx for ur reply. U should do a tut on it, im totally lost on it.
How would u paint splines on mesh?
Hope u find a cure and get back working 3d
I KNEW IT! lol, but still damn good tut again.
But you see, the thing I want to know more of, is how to make the Bump/Normal maps... I've tried, but usually end up making something that works like crap.
Also, I like the Grey aswell.
If you wonder how i made the Normal Map, check the Bump
Get Nvidia Normal Plugin for Photoshop (or whatever its called)
And run it with the bump loaded, set depth to -10 or +10 depending on what you want, and press preview. Thats the fastest way to get normal maps. The Bump and Normal Map are quick versions.
For what i did here, namely tileable texture, i couldnt really render the normal map in c4d sadly, well i could.. but it would create even worse gaps
Anyway, the Normal Map i made for this is not a "proper" normal map at all, for that, i don't know how to render it to get it right with tiles
Creating the Bump is very simple, the most important thing, is that your bump matches the color and normal map.
What i did here is just some donuts with a certain arrangement
But thankfully, this replaces my current non-free chainmail texture with my own, and my own does look alot more like a real chainmail imo
