rogle Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Hi Im currently rendering a solar powered bird scarer and was wondering if there is a material that I can use or download for the surface of the solar panels Thanx Quote
Cad64 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Lots of images on Google. How proficient are you with Photoshop? It's basically just a grid of blue panels, so I would probably just make my own material. Edited December 2, 2011 by Cad64 Fixed Link Quote
rogle Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 Not at all Iv never used it The images should already be on as the model has been imported from inventor which had an image from google as the pannel and it was applied using the decal technique but I was told that there was an issue with decal transfer from inventor to 3ds max. Is there a similar method to the decal system in 3dsmax? Quote
Cad64 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 I've never used Inventor so I have no idea what the "decal technique" is? Materials in Studio Max are handled through the Material Editor. I would suggest you check out some Tutorials to get familiar with the editor. Quote
rogle Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 aah you apply the image in a sketch then use the decal function to imprint onto the surface. Il have a look at a few tutorials Thanks Quote
