Category rendering. posted oct. 15, 2014. in this tutorial i am going to cover how to create an anistropic metal shader in houdini. note: when you are creating a custom anistropic map texture, make sure you create a 32 bit image otherwise you will see strange artifacts in your render. This short tutorial will show you how to create a realistic steel shader with anisotropic reflections to create a brushed metal effect on the base of a pot.h.

In this tutorial you will learn how to build the most commonly used brushed metal or anisotropic shaders. we will first use bump or normal maps to build basi. All about the anisotropic characteristics. arvid runs through how you can create a metallic shader in maya with arnold. the tutorial shows how you can use arnold nodes to do all the heavy lifting, including masking and placing anisotropy where you want it. “you will learn the essential aspects of uv mapping, uvsets shading techniques, and. Here anisotropic shading is used to create the extremely long tail found in some metals, even if they don’t have the surface grooves that makes them actually anisotropic so consider this a hack. very strong light sources such as the sun or surface of a spotlight is affected more than weak sources or rather, the effect is more visible. Here's how to create a cool, radially anisotropic metal type shader with the mia material in mental ray maya. (ps, for a general introduction to anisotropic materials in cg, i recommend this great article by neil blevins at his cg education website). jumping straight in first, let's create a simple object in which to apply our shader to.

Here is a mix for creating an anisotropic shader in maya and mental ray. how good metal looks is very dependant on your lighting so keep that in mind. click here for the detailed version of this tutorial. Now we are going to create the steel shader with the brushed metal effect. reduce the base weight to around 0.4. reduce the specular weight and increase the specular roughness to around 0.5. this will give us a softer anisotropic effect. you may need to adjust the specular rotation to match your lighting. in this case, it is 0.4.
