KEY Chain

[Androgs]

Hi All, this is just a small scene to study more about texturing, work in max 6, any critics and suggestion? anyway I want to add fingerprint and greasy thing to it, any good tips and advise?

Thanks for viewing .

[camalot]

I really like the texture on it, almost as if you could cut yourself on the sides ......I can't really give tips i'm only a beginner. How did you get the texture for the keyring?

[Chan]

No greasy ****.. Only 1 fingerprint and that should go on the middle rectangle piece..

[g69]

totally agree with chan.
only figerprint would make it look wicked!

nice modeling though...
btw, i think you have missed out the ring where the keys go
it should be a ring not a perfect circle (loop)

i hope u understand what i am trying to say...
neways nice modeling and text. so far... lookin forward to this

fingerprint -

take a pic of a finger or fingerprint in photoshop,
desaturate the image.
then go to adjust level and put the righ one left - till the image is black and white only ,. contrasty .
but still with some variation in greay.
then go to channel panel -
then control and click on the top channel
create a new layer. and then hit d - then hit alt + backspace.

now save as a tif . with alpha . the option is on there.
now open max . and set this as your diffuse map .
and then hit invert in ps and save agai
then set that as your alpha or opacity map
= nice fingerprint.

Thanks for the reply, All !!

camalot: Thanks for your kind comment , mate. for the keyring I apply gradient map both for diffuse and reflection map, inside the gradient that apply on diffuse I also apply again a gradient map at the black color blank slot .

Chan: Thanks for your suggestion , we'll see about that later, I plan to give a lot of fingerprint on it .

g69: Thanks for your comment, dude . about the ring, I understand what you're trying to tell me, and actually it's not the loop circle, I'll make it more clearer on the next render .

cgstripe:wow ,Thanks for your tips, I'll try it later and post an update. Thanks again .

Looks nice, the middle section.. is that chrome? if so chuck a HDRI on and make a wooden texture to give it a feel that someone's left it on their table-top or sumtin

comment: how about modeling some keys to fit into the keychain?

and as tobes said... the left, or unattended keys is a nice idea
as well

keep it up.

btw, what render? scanline?
looks pretty neat
keep it up

[Androgs]

hmm, yeahh, nice idea, I'll try to improve this scene later, Thanks for your suggestion, tobes.(and..yes, the middle one is a chrome )

Thanks for your suggestion,g69 , I'll try to make this scene more interesting . hope I'll make it! (oh, I used default scanline for the renderer)

lemme guess you used self illum. plane or box on the top?
man its pretty neat for a scanline, keep it up!

[Androgs]

mm, there's a black box up there, it's true but no self illum was used, though it's a nice idea for later scene .
the fingerprint so far.

[JHarford]

very nicely done ,its looks very cool - and the print works well .
what lighting setup are you using

[Androgs]

Thanks for your tips, cgstripe so I can do it. I used standard lighting for this scene . there's a lot idea come in my mind now for this scene, and here's an update, I still haven't modelled that spidey tiny body yet .

[g69]

O MY GOSH!!!

WoW androgs... this seriously looks cool!
improve the scene with some keys init
would look awsome!

keep it up man!
waitin for more updates!

[Androgs]

hehe, I will model the other later (include the key ), Thanks for your suggestion !
