VUE (and others): DIRT ON THE
BOTTOM
|
| An important point about
making realistic scenes in Vue, or other apps, is that dirt, staining
and weathering is often built up in specific ways. For example,
rocks in a river bed will be damp on the bottom, and thus darker. |
|
Here I will use the
"layered material" ability in Vue6, but it can be
done in other ways, of course :)
Also, while I use this to add water stains from a river on
the bottom of rocks, dripping water going down walls, grit
erosion horizontally on stone, etc are all possibile uses
of this technique. |
|
|
EXAMPLE: MOSS STAINED ROCKS
|
|
These rocks are too bland, your eye will notice,
in a render, that they don't appear real. Real rocks in
your riverbed will be damp on the bottom, with moss etc.
|
|
|
To add moss or other stuff, I open
the Advanced Material Editor, and add a new layer.
I then adjust that in the "Environment" tab, so
that the moss appears on the bottom, with a little fuzziness
on how the materials blend, as it's not a soild lien in real
life. |
|
|
| And this is the result! It's not
a huge difference, but it really does add up to enhance realism
in a scene :) |
|

I hope you find this of use! :)
