WS Materials? I don't have a clue how they work

Post by tamtam »

I have no clue how to use the Workspace material editor. Could someone please teach me how to use it to make colors, image textures, bump, normal, alpha, and if possible, displacement maps also on the WS material editor, please?

My best suggestion is you start with the material in the manual and the video tutorials still available on the Caligari site then post questions about what that teaches.

The members of the community are glad to help but at this time none of us are rewriting those manuals or tutorials.

I also found it very confusing to use, becasue I don't have VRay and I think, if I remember corrrectly most of the tutorials assume that you do. I recommend installing the Yafray external renderer plug-in for TS. You don't have to use it to create your renderings,as you can still use the real time renderer, but the interface for setting up the materials is much easier to understand in 8-) Yafray .
