Villa PM maxwell render and process
-
I have attached the 2 dirt maps i used in photoshop.I will upload a more detailed tutorial later but basically what I do is copy the dirtmap image into the rendered image in photoshop and use the distort tool (EDIT -TRANSFORM -DISTORT in the pull down menu)to align it over the area I want to grunge up.I then use the overlay blend and set this to about 40 -60% and thats it.If you do this with multiple textures in the same area you can really start to build up interesting textures.
Regarding the background,it was a free download, a very hi res jpg .(sky 0008)

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't think it would be that simple - I assumed it would involve creating grunge brushes and using a technique to over paint in perspective.

Thanks for sharing the resource David.

very impressive post processing here, david... really impressed!

Heres one with some additional foreground elements and a very dead tree!

Stunning work AGAIN mate!
Just wondering though why you don't add the dirt as a layer to the materials prior to rendering? I pretty much add a dirt layer to every material.
Also not so sure about the car in this one, they seem out of place in a ruins shot!

Hi Rich,
The main reason I didnt add dirt maps in maxwell is because I was originally just playing about with the HDRI lighting and when I had the photoshop file open I decided to play around with the textures as well.The car does look a bit out of place but its really there to catch reflections on the bodywork and glass,just to help to accentuate the contrasts with the materials.I have attached 2 more images here.As I said before its a great model to test render with but its all about the lighting for me at the moment.

Do you have any tutorials or reference to add dirt to the maxwell material? Cause I am trying to achieve a nice and realistic look with materials layer layers but I can't..

beautiful images, David
