In this Keyshot tutorial, the wizards behind the screen unveil the secrets of creating a jaw-dropping procedural machine metal material. Forget about relying on external textures - this is all about pure, unadulterated Keyshot magic. Picture this: a CNC machine slicing through aluminum, leaving behind those mesmerizing reflective streaks. The goal? To replicate that exact look, without breaking a sweat.
By harnessing the power of the anisotropic angle property within the generic material, they take control of how light dances off the surface. It's all about precision, my friends. A color gradient texture steps in to dictate the reflection angles, ensuring those streaks pop just right. But wait, there's more. To really amp up the drama, another color gradient swoops in to play, enhancing contrast and directionality in the material.
But here's where it gets interesting. Instead of relying on fancy external textures, they dive deep into Keyshot itself, extracting a color gradient that does the job just as brilliantly. The team then embarks on a journey of splitting object surfaces, ensuring the material dances only on specific areas. Adjusting parameters like metallic, roughness, and specular values, they fine-tune the material to perfection. And just when you think it couldn't get any better, they showcase how the same setup can flawlessly handle different textures, proving its versatility in the world of rendering.
