Kerkythea Materials Pack Trial And Error

In this tutorial I want to show how the layered material system in Kerkythea can be used.

Time for action - Kerkythea materials Click on the glass window.

Right-click this and select Apply Materials Basic Pack Thin Glass.

Maybe not all materials here are physically perfect and there might be much more that I havent found out in Kerkythea.

Double-click on a material and the Material Editor will open.

If you click on the diffuse part of the material (or ambient and all others), there appears a in the texture editor section on the bottom.

When you right click on it, it is possible to add a colour, texture or a procedural or layers: additive layer: All materials after the will be overlaid by adding them.

The result will be very bright, so to keep it physically correct, the weights should sum up to not more than 1.000 (for example one material 0.4 one with 0.6) x mask layer: All materials after the x will be multiplied.

The multiplication works according the following scheme: white(1).

Kerkythea Materials Pack Trial And Error

In KT however - no matter I did read a lot of tutorials and frequented the forums - it is not like that and many times it is a trial and error to achieve what you want.

Thanks for the material pack, too - it will also be very useful to dig into them to see (and try to understand) what is happening and why.

I think the material editor of KT is so powerful that only a fraction of users get around its complexity.

Layeredwall.jpg Unfortunately, the options in Kerkythea are limited and the wireframe procedural can not selectively use only the upper edges of a face (or lower edges).

Here is a Kerkythea material pack which contains most materials from the Limburg monastery model.

It requires some additional procedurals that can be downloaded on the But how did you get the dirt to the wireframe procedurals Perhaps you tried it already.

But isnt it possible to mask the wireframe procedural and mask it with the ramp procedural.
