Tire material

[ngluvakov]

What would be best setting for tire material? I am looking for mental ray solution. I have seen in this forum many photo-realistic renderings, I would appreciate if someone could share their tire material and render of it. It would help to many CG artists. Thank you.

please check the tutorial section before posting such questions or do at least a quick forum search.

my tutorial may be a bit outdated but it should point you in the right direction.

Cheers

Yes, it's good enough, but wouldn't it be great to have more opinions and setups on this subject, rather than one? Great tutorial tho, thank you!

Here is mine tire setup. Although I am not a pro or experienced enough, maybe it will help someone hopefully.

It is just standard "Arch & design" material with one map. When you load arch&design mat., everything that needs to be changed is marked red and can be seen in attachments. There is rendered result also.

not bad man it looks a bit waxy imo, maybe a bump map will help as well...i dont know

I just posted material. Two-one-one has tutorial about mapping in his signature. You can add bump to it.
