Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 16, 2010 Hash Fellow Posted March 16, 2010 This is a procedural material I made today. What does it look like? Quote
fae_alba Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 the guy from the old anti polluting commercial standing alongside the rode crying... Actually I like the test pattern vote...looked at a lot of those with my dad as a kid while he repaired all of the neighborhoods old tv sets. Remember vacuum tubes? Quote
NancyGormezano Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Susan Boyle? Bugs Bunny? Kidding, kidding. I am absolutely amazed at what you've been doing with these materials... Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Hash Fellow Posted March 16, 2010 The guy from the old TV test patterns? Ding, ding, ding! That's exactly right. Or at least it's my distilled version of him. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't fooling myself about whether it looked like anything. Quote
Gerry Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Remember vacuum tubes? I used to stand over the back of the TV set just to smell 'em! Quote
Eric2575 Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I agree, amazing. I can barely get goop out of materials and you create artwork with brush strokes! Wow! Eric Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Hash Fellow Posted March 16, 2010 Testing... Testing... Here's a TV test pattern made entirely from procedural materials. The Indian head is one material, the grayscale bar is one and everything else is another material. These are all made from spherical, grid and gradient combiners It would be possible to combine them all into one material but the graybar complicates that quite a bit. Quote
fae_alba Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Remember vacuum tubes? I used to stand over the back of the TV set just to smell 'em! umm... they have rehab programs for that! I can remember neighbors knocking on our door asking for dad to come and fix the "boob tube" for them, and dad following them out the door with a monster size tool box. A few hours later he'd come home, a few bucks in his pocket and a happy neighbor. Ah, the 70's...what a time! Quote
John Bigboote Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Very, very cool Robcat! AND, lest we forget...very, very cool---A:M! I would second the request for a 'show-n-tell' on that. I ALSO REMEMBER when the TV would go 'on the fritz' taking all the tubes out, marking them so you remember where they go, and taking them up to the Drug Store where they would have a vacuum tube testing station. You would test them one by one, and if they all tested OK...then it was something else and you needed a new TV. Quote
johnl3d Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I fixed many a tv with the help of the drug store tube tester..still have a few tubes lying around .. Quote
Paul Forwood Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Amazing! I never would have thought that these were possible with procedural materials. Quote
