V-Ray Graphite Shader

18/5/2014

8 Comments

 
Just me trying to create a realistic graphite (pencil) shader with V-Ray (should also be a 1:1 conversion to Mental Ray) and I think the results are interesting enough to warrant their own short journal post.
Here's a quick preview of how it looks thus far as both still images and animation.
These images are straight from 3ds Max. No post work has been done.

UPDATE (27/08/2017): Several people have been asking about how the graphite effect is made, and while I started writing a short tutorial some time ago, I never found the time to complete it and add it to the navigation menu.
​
The (incomplete) tutorial can be found at this page for the time being: ​V-Ray Graphite Material
Some images may be hard to read, so open those in a new tab to view at full resolution.

I have looking for this for an extremely long time. Can you please assist me on providing this shader for me? The current project is needing this type of look and would be ideal for me in so many ways. Can you please email me with the shader and/or how I can obtain this shader? Thanks and hope to hear from you soon. I am using Max 2014 with VRay 3.0.

Hello Peter.

I've updated the post with a link to the tutorial I was working on some time ago.
While the tutorial is very bare-bone in its current state it should get you far in creating a similar graphite hatching effect.

I love what you´ve produced here, but I just cannot reproduce this shader in Max.
Can you send me one of your Max files with it included please?
