Creating an Aged Wall Part 1

by a.cangelosi

In this new 3D Studio Max Tutorial we’ll start to talk about aging effect to achieve a more realistic result.

This tutorial series will be splitted in different part. In part 1 we’ll take a look at the basic simple modeling using
standard primitives, then we’ll start to prepare basic daylight illumination using MR Sky and MR Sun objects. We’ll
prepare a base scene using Arch&design shader to obtain a clean version of a urban wall and then we’ll start using composite maps and procedural maps as noise and gradient ramp to change its look adding aging effect, dirt area, broken area etc.

    Very good tutorial. Thanks.

    I think you could cut the time that it is rendering.

    Sorry for my English.

        Hello:
        I downloaded this tutorial and have enjoyed it very much. However I am having problems with the Wall>Composite>Layer 5 Noise Mask. In the Noise Parameters section, the size is 25.0 (this is the downloaded Max file from your website). The viewport map and the “Show end result” map in the material editor are properly configured together. For example the viewport map shows properly how it will be rendered. However when I try to create the scene myself, for some reason the Noise map in the viewport and in the material editor don’t match up properly. I must bring down the size from 25.0 to about 2.0. When I do this it doesn’t show properly in the viewport map. I basically have to guess how it will look. The same holds true for the Displacement special purpose map. Your displacement is left at 1.0. I have to change mine to 0.03.
        Can you help me figure out my problem?
        Thanks

    And why isn’t it possible to skip through the tutorial say to a particular time frame? Need to wait until it gets fully buffered.
