Material Preview Charts

powered_jj · Post by **powered_jj** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 10:20 pm

I've been working in Indigo for some time now and I thought that I could use a instant material preview method. So I made this material calibration chart

. I use Blender, so these test pages are Blender oriented.
Right now it's only the phong material, but I want to make specular and bump-height too.

EDIT:
I've rendered charts for specular material

.

I'm thinking what to render next...
Maybe someone's got an idea?

Thanks powered_jj, I hope you generated these scenes with a script

It was generated with 0.6t6-b1 script.
Now I'm trying to make something useful with specular material

The specularity can be set in Blender, by using the "spec" slider - which can be between 0 and 2.
The Indigo exporter then converts it to rgb color triplet.

Until now I didn't notice that actually it can be changed by setting the specular color
