Easy Metal - Custom Shader for Iray

Thank you for buying one of my products!

Setting up realistic and nice looking metals or metallic effects in Iray is sometimes not that easy.

This product includes a custom metal shader for the Iray render engine that enables you to set up different metals in any color and any metallicity easily.

Perfect for all kind of metals. High gloss metals, blunt metals, brushed and structured metals. All you need comes with this custom shader.

For basic metals only a few settings have to be made, like the metal color and the metallicity. In some easy steps you get your metal surface. Channels for bump and normal maps are available as well to use your own maps. Most channels support image maps too. More advanced settings are possible too, like outer layer effect, metallic flakes effect and glossiness adjustments. Tiling and Offset settings are available as well. 

To quickly start there are 70 presets of realistic metals included (35 polished and 35 brushed metals), like Steel, Gold, Silver, Titanium etc. Several other presets for gradient effect metals, surface structure, glimmer effect etc. are included too. 

A very versatile and useful custom shader that enables you to set up metals with ease. 

As a little bonus two props are included: a safe and an ingot prop. There are several material presets for the ingot and the safe included.

____________________________________________________
Requirements:

- DAZ Studio 4.8+ (with Iray) or later


This product has been tested in DAZ Studio 4.9 (PC & Mac). 
This product is for DAZ Studio only. Not tested in or recommended to be used with Poser. 

_____________________________________________________
Installation:

1. Close all DAZ Studio instances. 
2. Extract the contents of this archive to your Daz Studio content folder (content library)
3. Start DAZ Studio

The shader and presets will be found in "Shader Presets / SF-Design / Easy Metal Shader and Presets".
The props and materials for them are located in "Props / SF-Design / Easy Metal"

_____________________________________________________
Usage:

1. Select the surface(s) you want to add the shader to
2. Apply the shader and optional the provided presets if you like (it may be needed to apply the "Reset Shader" preset before to clear up previous settings)

If you do not use the provided presets you can control the shader settings in the Surface Tab and set any value you like. 

Shaders and shader presets are not applied like material presets. It is required that you select the surface(s) you want to apply the shader or shader presets to. 

Please note: 
All of the preset maps in this product are fully seamless however, some meshes may cause the "Brushed" and "Structure" presets to not appear to be seamless. This is entirely due to the particular prop's mesh and not caused by this product. Should this occur, you may wish to tweak the tiling and bump intensity settings after applying the preset.
