John Windswept Design Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'm working on 11.5 and I need a metal roof finish. Is there a good one out there? John Quote Link to comment
Kevin Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 John, have you looked in the Renderworks textures folder? There are a number of metal finishes there. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 But alas, AFAIK, no Standing Seam metal roofing. I usually make my own... Quote Link to comment
John Windswept Design Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Seems like a complicated proceedure. How would I make my own? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 It's very easy. Create a "real" piece of the roofing you're after using (colored) extrudes. Put it in a Top View, render it with shadows (if you want). Export the resulting view an image file (make sure to use the "marquee" option and make sure to stay well with the rendered shape (to avoid funky tiling of the texture, later). Not use the image you just created to make a new texture resource. I can do the whole thing in a little less time than it took to explain it... Quote Link to comment
