Patterns
Expand photorealism through the use of procedural nodes and textures
- Bump & Normal Mapping
In this lesson you’ll learn how to correctly use Bump and Normal maps within RenderMan. We’ll look at using the flexible per-lobe bump parameters for added creative possibilities.
- Bump Roughness
In this lesson, you'll learn how to harness the amazing power of Pixar's Bump Roughness, which allows users to render micro detail efficiently and automatically.
- Material Variation
In this lesson, we're going to take a look at the incredibly versatile PxrVary node and how you can use it to add randomization to your materials. Download the Houdini file to follow along!
- Procedural Grime
In this lesson, learn how to create realistic procedural dirt, dust, and grime using the PxrDirt & PxrCurvature nodes.
- Procedural Mask Adjustment
This lesson is all about using the PxrRemap & PxrThreshold nodes to adjust your textures and masks.
- Tiling Textures
This lesson will give you the fundamental understanding of how to get beautiful and seamless texture maps on your models by using the PxrRoundCube & PxrMultiTexture nodes.
- Custom Outputs
Learn how the PxrTee node is capable of outputting any pattern to an AOV and the advantages it brings to your compositing and look-dev workflow.
