Leather Material for Cycles

Description

Here a procedural leather material for cycles is. There is a brief explanation [in blenderartist](http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?278285-Yet-Another-Thread-about-Cycles-Materials&p=2309235&viewfull=1#post2309235). This zip includes six leather colors and two kinds for each one: new or worn.

The model is made by @Tuqueque. You can download from [blender demo files](http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/graphics/blender/demo/test/demos261-1.zip).

I hope you like it.

EDIT:

I have updated the file to Blender 2.69 version. Now the materials have less texture nodes so they should render faster. I have included a new preset for each color, cracked leather. So the new file includes 18 leather presets, which look better than the old ones. Also I have left the old 12 presets. Their names are ended by "_268".

I hope you enjoy them.

Very realistic shaders thanks . but it seems taking very long time to render Expecting more from you Regards

That is a problem of displacement in cycles. The material uses three 'Leather' node groups, because the render is a foreground. If you want to use it for background, or you don't need such detail, you can remove two 'Leather' node groups. This will speed up your render.

Una cosa, soy nuevo en esto de blender. Veras, abro el archivo blend y me sale esa figura en color blanco. le doy al f12 y no aparece nada. Como funciona?

E
elbrujodelatribu about 13 years ago

No estoy seguro del problema. A mí sí me funciona. Asegúrate de que estás usando una versión de producción y no de desarrollo. Yo puedo abrir el archivo con la 2.66a que es la actual y funciona perfectamente.

It looks very impressive... but i fail at scaling the texture, because in my scene the leather structure is way to big...

Thank you very much for all your comments. I'm going to UPDATE this material with the next version, Blender 2.69, including the new Mapping node and updating the Bump node setup. It was created with the first bump node version which doesn't have distance parameter.

Hello... I'm making an asset pack, and I've done a quicky job for a leather material. I'm now getting complaints on it, and being told to get one of these. **I'll be selling the pack**, and I want to make sure it's okay for me to use your materials in there. I will give you credit in the description. Thanks :D

E
elbrujodelatribu about 11 years ago

If your pack is a material pack, my materials are not available for selling. Thery are free and you can include a link to here, but you can not sell any of them. They are free for everybody.

martin242 about 11 years ago

Hi, thanks a lot for such awesome materials! I have a question: How can I bake the normals from the bump on your material? The normals are plain when I bake them :( Would be great if you can help me. Thanks!

E
elbrujodelatribu about 11 years ago

Hi @martin242. I want to study this, but I think you need to bake the patterns only for height as a "diffuse color" type. Then use this image of the pattern through a image texture node plugged in a bump node to create you normal vertors.

I'm not very advanced at using Blender, so it may be obvious, but I can't figure out how to get to the other colors.

These are excellent, as usual. I'm using one, with a slightly reduced bump map, in a current WIP. http://noctumsolaris.deviantart.com/art/Pearl-necklaces-on-a-bust-WIP-558841930

Superpotato almost 9 years ago

i feel like a moron for asking this, but i'm new to blender so i think i'm justified. I can append the files easy enough, but when I check them out on rendered I get a teal background with my character in yellow, no contours or textures, either from the material or my guys armor and other thingies are discernable, i figure that I'm doing something wrong or something i'm not doing?

Beautiful procedural leather. I'll probably end up baking it to vertex UV textures for individual objects. Thank you for sharing.

Great job. But I still did not understand how to add material to my project. When copying an object, not all options are transferred. Also, when choosing some positions, the links in the nodes are broken. Another question is how to scale the material without losing the skin pattern?
