Maps/materials to Arnold

bldpsnmlt — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 23:30:17 GMT

Hello!

Want to redo my textures by only using Arnold materials to benefit from the GPU renderer.

Right now im using composite mapping with uvw unwrap modifier, which did a well job. I´d like to ask for advice on how to build the same setup with Arnold materials. Attached an example save with texture and alpha.

Note: Its important for me to have the transition from bitmap to bitmap with channel ids.

Thank you in advance

Hi and thanks for replying.

Thats what i tried in the first place, but got different results with standard and Arnold materials. Thought there is an other setup needed to accomplish the task.

Eyebrows example:

Upper eyebrows material is standard, lower is Arnold

Save and textures attached.
