Tried to use procedural shading only (except the license plates) for this
model.Amongst other things I wanted to try Matts advice to copy the parts
shader to coat more than one part and leave others untouched,which worked
great (the method).
[attach=1]
[attach=2]
I couldn't find a satisfying solution for the glass parts of the lights,though.
Neither the white nor the colored glass.
I know that this model is too low poly for close ups so it doesn't really matter,
but anyway...
The main problem is that the light doesn't really pass the object,so you never
get the second hightlight on the opposite side of the first highlight.And anything
inside the glass object won't get a highlight,too,just reflections.
That behaviour also causes the light of a lightsource inside a glass object to stay
inside that object instead of shining through the glass and illuminate the environ-
ment.
One more reason for better transparency.
Feel free to participate. ;)
I think it looks quite good.
And yes we need better transparency.
I gather his vehicle's five year mission is to explore strange new procedural worlds. To seek out new methods of transparency, and new rasterizations.
Ok, back to work.
;D You nailed it! ;D
Hey J,
On the model in the OP, was it UV mapped at all, or fully and properly UV mapped, or no mapping done at all?
To what advice from matt are you referring? Link?
I am asking because I have a model that is nearly done. Its of a greek empire ruin of a temple. On this model I modeled the crevices between most every stone (was going for realism on it). I have not mapped it though so the UVs look a mess. But I have read here that this may be a good thing when texturing procedurally. I can start testing on one of the columns, I have one properly mapped and I can test on one that is un mapped.
Some words of wisdom on this please?
NCC-1701-D ;D ;D ;D
Thanks Kadri and Hannes. :)
Michael - Only the license plates were properly UV mapped to be able to
use an image as texture.The rest had no UV mapping at all,just
material groups.(any material assigned to a group of faces in Wings3d
results in a model part with the according default shader inTG)
This mix of UV mapped and non UV mapped parts can cause minor
problems,though.I haven't been able to find out what exactly is causing
these problems,yet.What happens is that some of the non UVed parts
need to have Power Fractals applied in World Space just like the UV
mapped parts and other non UVed parts don't.
Matts advice:http://www.planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php /topic,17600.msg170911.html#msg170911
As for your model it depends on what you want to achieve.
Like if you want the crevices and stuff to be visible in rather close ups
under the most lighting conditions it's probably better to have the objects
UV mapped and texture them traditionally.Or if you need AO maps to bring
out certain recesses or so.
In case you don't care about things like that it's definitely better and by far
less time consuming also to use no UV mapping at all.
The above is of course just an opinion and most likely incomplete.
Feel free to ask or contribute anyone.
Edit: I have to apologize for that not working link again.I have no idea why I can't
post working links anymore. ::)

To what precisely are you referring? Because If you are talking about the reflectivity, I was guessing that this is more a problem of the surface type. I mean, I wondered if the problem would not be an issue for a stone surface vs the metallic surfaces of the truck?

Well I am definitely not looking for a "glossy" look laying over my textures. So thanks for the thread, and any answers that it will provide.
I don't really get it,Michael,I didn't say anything about reflectivity or a glossy look
in the context of your questions at least not that I noticed.
Could there be some misunderstanding somewhere?
Hey J, I just re read this thread more carefully. probably that other thread you and I where talking about texturing in, in TG is where I need to post my questions. Apologies. I was thinking more generally than your specific topic.
I thought the problem you were posting on was how shinny the truck is on the shadow side compared to the side of the truck that is in the sun. And the glass issue (as in how the seats appear through the windows. The misunderstanding is mine. :-[
Noh prroblem mahn. ;)
And an attempt to make some kind of metallic shader.
[attach=1]
[attach=2]
In comparison with the original color.
Has anybody noticed the paved road btw?
Yes, nice pavement! The problem with the glass not letting through any light can only be surpassed if you take out the lamps and save them as separate objects, and not have them throw shadows. I used that method for lanterns.
Ulco - I'll have to try that,but it sounds like the lights wouldn't cast
shadows then,which might look odd.
Anyway,thanks for the suggestion.
Didn't you do something with light cones on a car way back when?
And two more metallic shader attempts.
[attach=1]
[attach=2]
The last one is actually the shading that is on the exhaust just put
on the body parts.
And the sticker is done by camera projection.
Feel free to ask and/or to contribute!
What happened to the seats?
Regarding the lights: I did (I think). But if you want light sources (or spotlights) inside your 'lights' (behind the glass) then that glass object (now a part of the whole car) should be separate and you can uncheck throw shadows. That's what I mean. The parts around the glass would still throw shadows, or anyone standing in front of the lights.
The seats are still where they have been all the time.The light grey edgey
things inside.Maybe it looks different because I've changed the reflectiveness
of the inner body parts.
Thanks for making that clearer,I assumed at first I should uncheck cast shadows
for the light now I see you meant to turn that off for the separate object.
I'll give it a try tonight.
As for the minor problem with the mix of UVed and non UVed parts when I connected
the shaders of the exhaust to the body parts it worked as is for the front part,but for
the back and the roof another Transform Shader set to World Space was needed,although
all of these parts are non UVed.And so far I haven't been able to find out what causes this.
Maybe something in the modeling process.
I had some issues a while back with unmapped parts that turned totally black, so I just map them (any which way in Poseray).
Unmapped parts turning black? Hmmm,never had that one with wings3d,but wings is
very TG friendly anyway,fortunately.
Tried the suggested light workaround,works great! Thanks!
Hopefully I won't forget it again. ;)
[attach=1]
Done with spotlights
[attach=2]
Plus a bit of aperture,which causes the rings visible in the lights.
A bit more and those things look more like dark cones inside the
reflectors of the lights.
Top!
I think the truck is cool but I really like the road it's sitting on. I'd like to know more about that.
^^Me also!
Make it 3............. :)
Looks great!
:) Thanks for your interest.
The pavement is done with a procedural mask (yes,the dreaded blue nodes)
and some Power Fractal displacement on top of it.
I'm going to post some example files in the File Sharing section for you to
play with.
If the community is interested I'd be willing to share one version of the car also.
QuoteIf the community is interested I'd be willing to share one version of the car also.
Im just interested in the tires. They look pretty real to me. Are they higher polly? And the rubber shading looks good too. Looks like sport truck tires should, almost hard surface, but clearly rubber. The treads really work well too.
Michael - Aaawww,what's wrong with it? Not enough chromium parts?
The missing weaponry? (just kidding,no worry ;) )
As for the tires I'd consider them to be not really low poly anymore,
but on the other hand not quite midpoly yet.
Take a look yourself
[attach=1]
The tread parts have creased edges (or hard edges as it's called in wings3d).
That way TGs normal smoothing doesn't affect those edges and they render
pretty sharp.(the backside view shows it clearly,other parts too)
The rubber shading is quite easy.The trick is to use a reflection tint that is
not to far away from the actual rubber color.
For example: Take a Power Fractal set the scale sliders to something you
think matches the object (tire) size,then set the colors to e.g. 0.005 and
0.007 set the other parameters to your liking and then feed it into a
reflective shader with ray traced reflections turned off and set the reflection
tint color to say 0.03 or so,Index of Reflection to 1.5 and the specular
roughness to 0.25.
Connect that to the grey part node instead of the default shader and
you're done.
I've tried to model this rather low poly car especially for use in TG with procedural shading.
And I also tried to set up my material groups in a way that allows for changes of geometry
and additions thereof easily.
As you might have noticed I've shown two different versions so far (five doors+three doors).
But I have done the shader set up only once and imported the different versions into the
existing obj reader and it works great,even with slightly different file names.
Tried to import one with 1 material group more and even that worked to a certain degree.
Meaning it rendered ok,but the new shader didn't show up amongst the others.
So here it is again showing a third version with more parts added.
[attach=2]
So since only the rubber shader was mentioned let me ask you guys directly:
What do you think about the other shaders?
What should be improved and how?
I think it's quite perfect and you've done a terrific job. Perhaps a little dirt on the windows as well. And I still have a problem with the seats; they look so 'transparent grey'.
Yep,some dirt on the windows,wanted to do that,but then started thinking about
wiper tracks and how to do that without UVs and/or image mask.
Or just a clean spot wiped by hand and then I totally forgot to do it at all.Doh.
I'm not sure what to do to the seats to make them look better,but yes something
has to be done.
Good feedback,thanks!
Great work! I would really be interested in the setting you use for your procedural shading the model.
Have you checked how much memory your scene uses (wondering about the difference between it and uv/image mapping?)
What exactly do you mean by "...setting you use for your procedural shading..." ?
So far I haven't checked the memory in use,but I'll do that tonight and tell you
tomorrow.But I don't have a similar UV mapped and image textured model to
compare to,so this would be up to you.
Thanks for all the info J.
QuoteWhat should be improved and how?
To me its just to shiny. I have a 4x4 truck, but there is no where near the amount of dirt as in your scene where I live. And yet, though I keep it clean and waxed, it is never that shiny. :-[
Wax on wax off..................... ::)

I was thinking what the nodes looked like, but I just realized you can supply the tgd with the model too.
I need to spend more time with TG! Trying to learn Substance Designer, Unity, World Machine, etc. at the same time is tough.
By the way, check this out: http://www.allegorithmic.com/products/substance-indie-pack
[edit] That should have been "I was thinking what the nodes looked like, but I just realized you
can't supply the tgd with the model too."
You could use a camera projected half circle image map, or maybe even a rotated simple shape, for the windscreen wipe effect. Or just map the glass.
Has anyone tested that substance indie pack?
jaf - Memory used for the model as seen in the last pic shown above placed in
the default scene is 1.99GB maximum.
Of course I could share the tgd together with the model in principle,but why?
The nodes in question are in the internal of the obj or tgo node anyway.
And the environment nodes minus some stacked fake stones can be seen in
the PavedRoad tgd that has been shared already.
I could show a nodeview or a couple of those here,if you want,although it's
pretty messy right now.
Just let me know what you want to know/see.
Michael - The shinyness (reflectivity) is adjustable. ;)
Bobby - ;D Let's see...
Wings3D is definitely worth a try.Once you're familiar with it you can set up
your models there,no need for poseray any more.And 1meter in W3d is 1meter
in TG and more.Very TG friendly.
Ulco - Indeed,or a piece of geometry,but I was trying to think of a solution that suits
more than one scenario and got stuck there.Intellectual jam rather.
Same for the tires,I thought of various options and found it too difficult to come up
with a solution that works for all possible circumstances.Like dry hard surfaces,
or dry and dusty or wet and hard and so on.At last I decided to use the easiest
solution for now.
Thanks for thinking along.
In the meantime I've made some changes to the seats shader and put the
same light dust layer that's on the body parts onto the windows.(hardly
noticeable as on the roof.The heavier dirt as seen on the lower body and the
wheels would be inappropriate on the windows unless it would be all over the
body or at least going up much higher than now.)
And I did something else to hopefully improve it a bit more.Eager to see
if someone will notice what. ;)
[attach=1]
The seats are really good now, very important improvement. And now you see the sheen on the steering wheel, or is that the other improvement?
I'll drive away in this, any time. Great job, and if you're going to share, I won't object ;)
;D Yep,that is due to the other improvement.Well spotted!
[attach=1]
Another effect of that is visible here
outstanding texture work... I would love a spin in this!
:)
Thanks J. :)
Hope to get the clean up of the shader network done tonight.
As for sharing the model I asked myself wouldn't it be nice to make it a
Planetside Forums members only thing.And wouldn't it be even nicer if
everyone interested could have the version he/she likes best?
So,since I can't post the model here,because of the size limit,I pondered on
and mused over it and then it dawned on me.
What if I post a list of the possible options available and you make your own
choice and PM me and I email you the version you want?
Just copy the list and add a yes or no behind every item so that I know which
version you'd like to get and send me a Personal Message with the email address
you want it to be sent to.
It's a bit more than just clicking a download button,but heeeyyy... ;)
The list will be in a separate post for your convenience.
I like that idea and hope you do too.
LR110 - Terragen Special Edition
options
Version A - 5 doors
Version B - 3 doors

Cool! I'm really glad you guys like the idea.

to do the assembly and then shipping.
Thank you Jochen, received the model file early this evening and just started to open it and are doing some studying. Looking forward to using it in my latest project.
Thanks J.
I think I was confused by something someone wrote.
Will I be able to see your shading work. Or is this TGO only with no shading (no TGD)? I don't have any scenes now or planed that I need a car. But I would love to see how you did all of you work in TG on your model. Would that be possible, or am I taking advantage of your generous nature? Dont be pressured and feel free to say no. But thats the part I personally am interested in.
Thanks for everything else too.
It's quite good as a 'model as tutorial' on shaders TheBadger.....been quite a few revelations so far.
a TGD is essentially a scene file but this is a .tgo, fully textured.
Ah, so its completely finished as a TGO. Not a raw model that we should texture our selves? Well ok, then now finally I understand the point of all this perfectly ;D HA! Its cold out here in the dark.
TY
By the way. The last image on the last page looks like a photo to me. If I saw it on the web someplace else i would just think it was a photo. I would have to really get my eyeballs in there to pick out any CG.
Very nice shading.It looks great!
Thanks Kadri! :)
Indeed,as Bobby already pointed out,it comes fully textured,Michael.
Just the metallic shader attempts are not included,but I could post
them here,if you or anyone else wants to see those,too.
The texturing a raw model contest/competition will follow later on,maybe
as a part of the quarterly owners club meetings. (a joke of course!)
And don't miss the Terragen Explorers Trophy! ;)
This is a very nice experience so far. :)

I'd be up for that but as I'm functionally colour blind I'd have to be allowed to use image maps as well....but TG has them for folks like me...gratefully
And a crappy rudimentary Lopo driver.
Should be sufficient enough for anything but close ups,hopefully.

Inspired by Ulcos awesome maglev pic with the noisy light beam
I tried it myself yesterday and this is what I ended up with.
[attach=1]
Atmo quality set to 64 samples
cloud layers Edge sharpness set to 0.25;anything else on that tab default;
quality set to 18.(it started to look better at qual 12,but was still too much)
Rendertime increase about 40-50%.In other words from e.g. 10min to 15min.
Imagine that with soft shadows on. ;)
It looks great but, you must explain the settings more. Quality 18! :o That's the render quality? Was it the high atmo settings that reduced grain? Was it necessary, the 64 I mean? And did you use a light source or spotlight? The latter probably if you say there's no soft shadows on.
As you have noticed yourself meanwhile 18 is the cloud quality.
Render quality and AA were at default iirc.
As for the grain reduction the grain seems to be in the atmo and the clouds
so actually it was necessary to go with increasing both atmo samples and
cloud quality.Maybe 48 samples (atmo) would do aswell,was running out of
time so I went from 32 samples,which was definitely not enough,to 64 samples
directly.
Yes,spotlights.
Edit:Render detail was 0.6,not default.
Coincidentally I have been working with the spotlight for Ade's lighthouse and came up with this. I found the most improvement, after I reached the default limits in the Free version, was to boost the spotlight soft shadow samples. In this they are set to 30 with max defaults on the render, no messing with GI or AO in this. This tiny render took 1:20:37 to render so a 1270x714(free max size I prefer)I reckon it would be close to 24 hours.
I should add that I used the Atmosphere and not a cloud fog. I set the samples to 160(just added a zero to the default, lazy I know)
Wowie zowie Bobby and still some noise visible,too bad.
Like Ulco said,better no light beams for the time being.
Actually it is interesting that the sun light source is so faster to render then the other lights.
I would like to know why that is if it is easy to tell someone like me who doesn't do programming.
But in this state i don't use them at all. A faster solution would be fine.
You're right. What I saw in the spotlight is that especially in the 'small end' the light is more intense and the grain more prominent. Perhaps further away more 'particles' are lit and so they even out. Just guessing.
Yes maybe Ulco.
I have a feeling (that is probably 100% wrong :D ) that Matt used kinda the same sun light as spotlights.
But the Sun's most intense light parts -especially as you said Ulco- are out of the atmosphere.
But the spotlights doesn't have that chance.
Some remarks by Matt on that topic shure would be enlightening.
Kadri have you tried spotlights outside the atmo already?(spaceships or so)
And maybe one could try a sun as lightsource for headlights or in a lighthouse?
But,I assume we would encounter the "light through" effect perhaps.
Maybe worth a try.
There are other issues,too,especially in conjunction with transparency.
For example:lets say you have a rectangular frame with glass panes,
like an aquarium,but with colored glass.Now put a lightsource,which is
set to be visible,into that aquarium and hit render.While rendering you'll
see that lightsource as a bright disc,but as soon as the colored panes
are rendered there's no more visible lightsource,only the shine of the
emitted light.You can still see the inner backside of your aquarium,
but not the visible lightsource.
And the light shining through your colored glass will be white and not of
the color of the tinted glass.But that's a different story.(Missing volumetrics
for water related,I'd guess.)
I tried these:
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=3]
[attachimg=2]
That landscape is lighted only by one spotlight probably as far as the sun nearly.
Render times are very fast.
In all 3 images is a planet in the middle but moved just a little in every image.
Settings of the spotlight:
[attachimg=1]
Full strenght number is this : 800 000 000 000 000 000

Ok,obviously I misunderstood your previous remark.
Nice noise free examples,thanks for showing. :)
:)
The originals look much better.
I haven't tried your setup you wrote but transparency still does have it's own problems.
If you use it for a lake kinda scene it works because as Planetside said before it was build for this basically.
Interesting, have to try that glass+ light thing some time, as well as the 'spotlight as sun'. Spotlight will only be visible as a beam if you have atmosphere. I noticed that also sunlight will produce more grain in clouds and atmo near the sun.
Interesting ain't it...Terragen2/3 has been out years now and we're still discovering stuff about the sun and atmo...
Yes,interesting it is.
Of course I wanted to try the sunlight as lightsource thing,but,alas,
no success.At least I had a good laugh at myself. ;)
As for the grain in atmo and clouds near the sun my guess is that it has to
do with the "nature" of clouds and haze.(voxels?)
Unfortunately I have to inform you that the Glass parts,
especially the windows don't render like before anymore
in TG 3.2. My guess is that the new Glass shaders feature
where you can choose if the geometry is treated as one-sided
or two-sided has changed the water shaders behaviour also,in
that this feature should have been added to the water shader
to make models that use this shader work like before.
The water shader now seems to treat a surface as two-sided
always,I assume.
[attachimg=1]
So,unless Matt knows an easy fix for that,we have to replace
every water+refl shader combi on our models with the new
glass shader.
Sorry for that inconvenience.
Let me know if you need assistance.
I suspected that would happen....well at least there's a Glass shader now.
Can you paste (or upload) your water shader settings here?
Matt
Well Jochen, I had a play with the Land Rover; just copied your settings from the Water shader over to the Glass shader and tweaked the reflection to match your Reflection shader. Didn't touch all the other Reflection shaders and to me they all look hotter/better than the last time I rendered this.
This is what they are, running through a Reflective shader
Thanks for screenshots, Bobby.
Matt
I hadn't tested the combination of Water Shader and Reflective Shader when making these changes for 3.2. The Water Shader on its own should be fine, but the Reflective Shader now works differently when looking through a surface from the inside (when the normal faces away from the viewer). I'll see if it's a bug that can be fixed, but at this point I don't know if that's possible. I don't like to break backward compatibility, but in this case you might need to replace the water+reflective setup with just a Glass Shader. That's how an object like this should be set up in the long run, anyway.
Matt
Yeah, this is a new bug with the Reflective Shader that I'll need to fix, because it's affecting other situations even without combining with the Water Shader. I'll get on it...

I personally find the Glass shader more than adequate and as indicated I transferred the settings's from the Reflective to the Glass...ticket boo it works good. See my image previous. Like the new Reflective shader btw. What happened to fuzzy reflections. That whole part is gone and isn't added to the glass; tho that would be cool as well.
Reflection softness is still there, Bobby.

D'oh, of course it is...must be my desire to have it in the Glass shader creepin in. That's really the trick to diffuse glass(office door windows), blurred reflection anyway.
Thanks for helping out Bobby! :)
Thank you Matt! Good to know about the reflective shader.
And of course it's no biggie to change to the glass shader.
Oh and Bobby,for office doors and the like it might be better
to use a masked surface layer instead of soft reflections.
Should save render time at least.

Indeed it would, that was just an off the top of my head example.
Sorta on the same track; We have Stained Glass.This uses Ulco's Bee's wing technique with an additional I think, Reflective shader.
I've packed the folder up if anyone want's to test this out. All the images needed are in the rar file. Just extract it to where you kep your projects and double click the .tgd and it should load fine.
Ooops it didn't load right, this is the correct .tgd. Just over write the other one. :-[
Let me know if you all think this is worthy of being posted to File Sharing and I'll upload a corrected .rar file there.
Great Bobby, thanks! It looks really good.
This looks awesome, though the only thing I see with the inital images that is off is the dust appears to be under your reflective surface, so it disappears in the back shadow preview.
Nice Stained Glass Bobby.

Yeah it's coming along but they still don't pass the light through, no beams yet. Seems to need a light from the front as well as behind for the transparency to work. In Imagine3d this was all done with filters in the attributes and that was a 1995 program....drives me nuts that TG can't do it all these years later

If you're on Windows or Linux, we released another update yesterday to fix the reflection bug. For the Mac, we're addressing another bug (saving clip files) before we release another update, but it should be ready soon.
