About the video: Materials 4: Metals
Overview
“In this lesson, we will see the creation of metals. We will use maps such as Mix Map and Mix Operator to achieve realistic finishes and with which to create from polished metals to metals with wear. ”
In this video lesson Giancarlo Pava Durand addresses the topic: Materials 4: Metals, which is part of the Domestika online course: Interior Renders with SketchUp and V-Ray Next. Learn to work with lighting and materials to create impressive renders of architectural projects.
