MATrickz Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I keep thinking of all of these ideas of animations and models! I have like 10 projects I have to finish!!!! Anyways, I thought of an animation I want to make and it involves a diamond...therefore I'm made a diamond. I'm still trying to get the material right but heres a neat pic of the diamonds with different hues. Tell me what you think because I want the diaond to look good. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 It needs a little reflection, the shape looks good. And diamonds don't have color to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATrickz Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 Yeah its going to be clear in the animation, I just wanted to make it look cool in the pic. And I will try to add some more reflection and see how it looks, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATrickz Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hey does anyone have any idea how to make a velvety material? , I tried making a ton of extremely small hairs but it takes like an hour to load...in wireframe. So I'm trying to work around this, and maybe take a pic of velvet and maybe use a bump map? I have no clue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingSalami Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 here is a velvety dark sim, all you need is the simbionat plug in for A:M at www.darksim.com then just use material, word to your mamma... Plush.dsts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamjames Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 You got the shape down, MATrickz. Should look good once you get a reflection on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATrickz Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 Thanks guys I think I have what I'm looking for thanks to all of your help... heres the diamond on the velvet pillow. I'm still playing around with the lighting but I just want to see how it looks. I will worry about all of that in the actual animation.

lazz Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 It looks pretty cool. But almost too transparent. Its also kind of hard to see. Try making it less transparent or less reflective. At first it took me a while to recognize the whole shape on the pillow. Other than that, it rocks (no pun intended ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrsl13 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hey I actually have a little input on this one.....I'd have some things aound the diamond for it to reflect (like what ya have to do to get chrome to look like chrome) walls, ceiling or whatever..or has that been mentioned?....looking good though..I too have like 5 projects underway.

MATrickz Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thanks for the advice! I agree with everything you guys have said, I'm not looking for a still though so maybe it'll be easier to make out the shape in the animation since the lighting will constantly be changing. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
