[tutor][video]Making of Ferrero Rocher (chocolate) 金莎巧克力

GIF click HERE
Ferrero Rocher is very famous chocolate. In this video tutorial you will learn how to model Ferrero Rocher with default 3ds max NURBS function, no plugin required. For the tinfoil, I use reactor cloth to simulate it. After modeling, I render with Finalrender Stage-1 and set a HDRI in the background. For the tinfoil material, I learn from a tutorial on Xenomorphic.co.uk website and modify the material color.

The Ferrero Rocher is product of their company, if the company don't want me to make this tutorial I will remove right away.

[教學][影片] NURBS建模教學套餐 tutors set

建模是我最弱的一環 尤其是NURBS 由於市面上3ds max書籍關於NURBS建模很少 例子也太過簡單 多流於介面說明 所以我參考其他的CAD軟體書籍 把一些工業設計常見的專題 以3ds max軟體來建立 希望嘉惠3ds max的使用者. 教學1~4不需要任何外掛. 5與6需要nPower Power NURBS外掛軟體操作. 你可以到官方網站下載試用版. 3ds max的NURBS經常令人詬病 除了太陽春之外 無法用NURBS操作boolean, 另外其fillet指令也不容易使用 原本我想用Rhino 3D來建模 但是後來發現Power NURBS的外掛就能完全取代Rhino 3D同時又能在3ds max環境下使用 值得推薦.

This video tutors demo you how to model PET bottle,advaned NURBS modeling. Please note you need npower Power NURBS plugin to make this model.

Description of this tutor:
In this video tutor I combine NURBS fuction in 3ds max and use the npower power NURBS plugin to perform some task during modeling this PET bottle. I take advange of the "Xcurve" function in power NURBS to make the wave pattern of this bottle. For the bottom of this bottle, I use the powerbollean to cut out the shape and fillet the it.

It seems that npower power NURBS has bug, so I am stick with default NURBS in 3ds max, until some task can not be done by default NURBS.

Tips: the cut out the shape of wave pattern, better check the "cap" fuction after you revolve the cure for the middle part of the bottle.

*** Donate to CG Taiwaner ***
In this video tutor you will learn basic NURBS to model a hook.

Description of this tutor:
(1) create shapes and corss-section of the hook
(2) convert to NURBS, join the curves
(3) By using "create 2-rail sweep" to crete surface for the hook

Tips: play around with "reverse curve" and change posion of start point of the cross-section curves to get better result

[筆記]弄懂材質--合成材質篇(composite)

3ds max當中有很多種材質與貼圖都與合成有關 名子也很像 容易混淆 這裡特別做比較說明:


1~3是材質material 4~6是貼圖map. 材質與貼圖的差異 前篇以介紹過了. 這六種材質/貼圖都與影像合成有關 如果弄懂了 應該對材質觀念有幫助.

首先是2與4非常像 compositor與composite 兩者都是合成的意思 不同的是一為貼圖 另一為材質. 解釋2的意義: 其base material就是底層材質的意思 其上的材質Mat1, Mat2...可以依序疊加. 這裡的Mat2等 一定要加上透明度(mask)這樣base的材質才會顯現 否則覆蓋過後只剩下mat2等疊加的材質能夠被看到. 合成的方式有a (addictive), s (substrative), m (mix)三種 這裡a的方式是最直觀的. 簡單的說就是 composite材質即為底層材質 然後疊加新的材質上去 (玩過photoshop的圖層就很容易理解).

材質的合成能夠建立像是 塑膠+玻璃等混合物體 然而貼圖的合成辦不到.

而4是compositor真的和2很像. 差別在於4適合成貼圖 而其map2的貼圖必須要有alpha等透明度設定(tif檔) 否則map2會把map1所覆蓋.

1blend材質 這裡mat1相當於base material 而mat2覆蓋上去, 由mask控制mat2的覆蓋程度 換句話說mask是加諸在map2之上的 如果mask當中是黑色 則材質顯露出mat1的樣子 而mask是白色 則顯示mat2的樣子.

與belnd很類似的是shellac材質 差別在於 shellac的材質base與shellac材質之間有上下之間的關係 而blend材質的mat1 與mat2是混合而已 沒有上下的關係.

5mask 這個貼圖通常不會單獨使用 (通常會與composie material搭配) 這裡map1 相當於之前介紹的map2貼圖 而mask是加諸於map1之上的 那你會問mask的base材質為何? 就是diffuse color而已. mask適合做為一物體上面貼貼紙的作業上.

6mix, 這個又和blend幾乎一模一樣了 差別就是一個為材質 一個為貼圖而已.


舉例:


想像一下你有三張投影片 一張印有綠樹 一張是紅蠟燭 一張是人群(黑色代表透明) 這裡你把綠樹放在底下(base) 疊上一張紅蠟燭 然後再用人群去遮蓋紅蠟燭 就會得到圖像3

如果改遮蓋程度為50% 就會得到圖像4

3ds max材質最難理解的就是合成 影像合成的概念也不過是如此.
