Hello everyone

I am wondering if anyone happens to have a copy of a good clay render material they would be willing to share, have a download link to, or offer any tips on the best material setup to create it myself.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated

I have used this one http://forumarchive.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=79008  It works well

 

I also just saw this video http://blip.tv/johnnybevo/basic-clay-render-in-carrara-7-pro-4881840  I haven't had a chance to watch but now book marking his stuff.  Its also here too http://www.channels.com/episodes/show/15567645/Basic-Clay-Render-In-Carrara-7-Pro

Thanks for the links. I shall look into them later today.

There's also a clay render light rig for Carrara on Share CG, haven't tried it out yet but people speak highly of the creator's shares.

You need to register with Share CG, though. Nice site.

Thanks for CG link. I am a member of the website and have a few models available for download (just look up "ibcreations" if you're ever interested) but I have to confess that I never thought of looking there... I shall go and do some serious browsing over there now :biggrin:

Clay renders really aren't all that complicated. For this pic I just used Carrara's default shader, ambient light, and ambient occlusion. The background is just a simple curved plane.

The point of clay renders is to either check your model for flaws, or show off it's awesome flawlessness! Flat, even lighting is the key :)

Thanks JT... Nice wheels btw
