Over the month of October I am running a "Materials Mentorship" program through Gumroad. The main goal of the mentorship is for the artist to create material(s) over the course of a month with tools currently used in AAA production pipelines. The materials will be created referencing real life sources, as well, the focus…

Restricting the theme too much on a material only contest like this wouldn't make much sense because there is very little value for artists and for the jury to…

Hey guys! I'm having an issue with reflective materials (i.e. Car Paint shader) with an HDRI scene in MAX 2012. I'm rendering in mental ray and when rendering with a standard material applied, everything is fine...the lighting is spot on. However, when I apply a car paint material or other reflective material, the object…
