Creating embossed type on a UV mapped object

Christopher Tyler Jul, 12th 2016 0 Comments
This UV mapping and texturing tutorial shows how to create embossed text on the wavy object created in a previous tutorial. This tutorial shows why UV mapping the texture placement is superior to using a projection mapping type such as planar or cylindrical mapping.

How to vary reflection smoothness according to incidence angle

Christopher Tyler May, 21st 2016 0 Comments
In this material and rendering tutorial the ability to vary the degree of surface roughness according to view angle is explored. This is a powerful technique that simulates real world material properties which can be useful for architectural and product/package design.
