Metal Materials Pack for Cycles

Description

Hi all. I have included here 18 metal materials, most of them are explained in [my blog](http://elbrujodelatribu.blogspot.com) or in [blender artist](http://www.blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?278285-Yet-Another-Thread-about-Cycles-Materials).

You can find: Aluminium, Brass, Copper, Stainless Steel, Anodized Metal, Silver, etc.

Enjoy them!

I like the one that looks a lot like iron man in the second row second from the left

E
elbrujodelatribu over 12 years ago

Yes, it was a test for a carpaint material, but when someone see it in blender artist said that it is good for "Anodized Metal". Anodizing is a process to get some metals has colors, for instance aluminium or steel. So I think it could be useful.

@DragonWhisperer Funny you mention that. I found this by looking for textures for an Iron Man render.

This is a nice job you've done elbru! I've been trying to make different types of metals in Blender (both Cycles and Internal Renderer), but none of the materials I've made look realistic. I'm certain I'll get my use out of this file often. ;)

E
elbrujodelatribu over 12 years ago

It has been a long task to collect all these materials and I appreciate blendswapers like them

B
bigboy4006 over 12 years ago

Well, it looks like the job was well with elbru. I need to go back and start doing more tutorials off of YouTube. If I remember, they have tutorials on metal materials in Blender (of course, my memory isn't the best...).

S
Sanjiva over 12 years ago

Thanks a lot. I highly appreciate your dedication in creating these materials. Good composition of materials should be bundled with or built-in into the Blender software.

E

Thanks! I appreciate your comments.

¡Muchas gracias por el aporte! Buena colección de materiales para ir probando, que el salto a Cycles no es fácil y esto me va a servir de base para "trastear". Interesante también tu blog, con muy buena información. Sigue así compañero. ¡Hasta pronto!

E
elbrujodelatribu over 12 years ago

Muchas gracias @ephebox, espero que sea útil para todos los que empezamos con blender/cycles.

E
ephebox over 12 years ago

Seguro que si lo es @elbrujodelatribu, quizá más el blog que las descargas (que siempre vienen bien para trastear) pero, en el fondo, todo ayuda. Buen trabajo. Bye!

I saw your post on blend and I am working on a War Dwarf and I needed a metal kind off between brass and copper but could not nail the gloss , these should help me a lot, thanks, ill check out your blog , thanks again.

E
elbrujodelatribu almost 12 years ago

Do you have any reference (link to an image)?

D
dmitriwhy almost 12 years ago

Im new to this and blender (hobby - during downtime at work). Correct me if im wrong with any of the following. THanks. ..I understood that I get the project file in the download. The project file is a tool/way for me to learn how to set up my own nodes this way. There is no easy 1-click material preset in this download. Blender doesn't support material presets.

E
elbrujodelatribu almost 12 years ago

You can download my blend file. Then in a blend file of your own go to File >> Append or File >> Link, select my blend file >> Material >> name of the material (for example Copper). Then that material will be added to your file. You can select it in the material list (properties >> material button >> browse material).

daddy3d almost 12 years ago

When I render the scene with cycles everything has a red tint to it. Am I forgetting something?

D
daddy3d almost 12 years ago

Never mind I figured it out. I didn't have the hdr set. Wonderful materials. I have not seen anybody set up metals quite as complex as you. Would you consider doing a tutorial on your method for creating metal? I tried to mimic your approach but with no luck. I am new to cycles and some of your nodes I don't recognize. You definitely have metals down.

E
elbrujodelatribu almost 12 years ago

Thank you @daddy3d , I have a blog where I post my tutorials: http://elbrujodelatribu.blogspot.com/ Also I usually post all of them in BlenderArtist in this thread: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?278285-Yet-Another-Thread-about-Cycles-Materials I hope you like them.

Thanks for these great materials. Only problem, you didn't pack in the HDR, or even just give a link to it.

E
elbrujodelatribu over 11 years ago

No, the HDR file is not included. You have to get it in that link.

T

Ok. I see it now. It was too unatatched from the rest of the text for me to see it. Thanks again!

Murphey almost 11 years ago

did you ever figure this out I'm having a similar problem. My model just looks completely grayed out. I'm really new at this too.

E
elbrujodelatribu over 10 years ago

The blend file provides materials and the scene that you see. You need to include the HDR image in the link of the description. Then you can render the scene as you see. Also you can import the materials from this file to your own blend file.

M

hey thanks so much. I just started with Blender and this will make my really basic models look so much better.

Hola! I really really really like these materials. I want to texture bake these materials but I cant because the nodes are in shaders. Is there a way I can texture bake these materials? Is it possible if you can make the materials with geometry nodes or send me a file or download? I would really appreciate it! I really love these materials and I don't want to use any other ones besides yours.
