Indigo Renderer Forum

Hi!, Im new at this and just wanted to show some bullets I tryed making... I think the base of the bullet needs to be thinner and the texture needs some adjustments.... tnks!

Tips are welcome and needed!!!

Hello and welcome, Albert_fn!

That's a nice scene and you are right that the bullets are too shiny on the first render, but you've nicely fixed this on the second.

The only two crits that I would have:

1. The primer of the bullet is of the different material, mostly nickel-plated.
2. There are visible waves near the edge of the primer. I guess adjusting the crease of the edge loop (part of it marked red) might help here. Otherwise, that's a very nice render

edit: and yeah, there are mostly vendor and caliber stamped around the primer

Good Start

Did you use CU.NK for the tip of the material by any chance? I have tried doing this with bullets, and it always results in a metal that is too bright. But the composition is definitely fantastic. Nice work.

Hey everybody! thanks for your replies!

I actually used http://www.the3dreality.com/NK_materials.html

Cr3si.nk for the base and a mapped exponent material and for the tip I used Cu.nk and the same.. exponent

I started the bullet just to try some stuff, I even forgot to look for some real scales and messurmens (MY BAD)

I noticed the waves on the primer next day... I just left the computer on rendering for kicks and actually liked what the result was... Im defenetly gonna take your advice and finish it

The link doesn't seem to be working for me

Thanks!!, I tried copy paste, but I don't know wy it doesnt work for me on the forum.

I recomend you to use a Blended Material so you have more control over refelctions

Neat material! What two materials did you go with?
