How to get copper effect in SU Vray.

johns

Hi all,

My name is John. I am doing a residence where it has copper roof. I tried giving the material and rendered, but it looks like brown color.
I used the texture from cgtexture. So if anyone who has a solution for this ,pls pls can u let me know asap as I am on a tight deadline.

Thanks in Advance for ur help.

Hi John and welcome!

What do you mean by "rendered"? Did you use a third party, photorealistic rendering package? If yes, which one?

If not, SU cannot really add a metallic "effect" to materials.

Thanks!
I am using Vray for SU, and give the copper texture and rendered. Unfortunately it didn't give the effect of copper.
Is there any setting in Vray that I can use to get this effect?

Thanks once again!

I don't know, I do not use V-ray. We have a V-ray subforum though so I am moving your topic there.

Lots of materials on the ASGVis's site.

Downloads > Materials > Metals

Copper can be seen as dull black to bright green blue or highly polished golden brown, even pink.

Hi thomthom,

I did download those vismat materials you mentioned. But I don't know how to apply those materials in vray for SU.
When I applied material texture, it's only taking jpegs and not vismats. am a newbie in vray, sorry about t hat.

Thanks.

You must use the V-Ray material editor to load the vismat.
