Crackled ceramics

I was looking at benjzie's 'crackled ceramics' materials this morning (mostly to see how materials were packaged) and I noticed that the library had two materials - yellow & blue - but the texture maps were both the same apart from the color . . .

. . . in which case, I thought, it ought to be possible to create a material where the colour is a parameter. After a little experimentation I came up with a layered materail that is similar to benjzie's but with a single diffuse colour that is editable.

Oh, and I'm sure that it can be improved . . .

PS Please unzip the material file to get to the mat.zip version - that's experimenting with the packaging to have more useful file and Library names.

Cheers Bob, i will give them a try

you are absolute right dentex

both should sum max 1.000 ( good that you pointed that out )

Ahha, this is where you set the weights. If they don't add to 1.00 , does this mean slower render times and or bad looking mat'l? Is the weighting of one vs the other trial and error or predictable. Does the one with the most weight have the biggest impact? Too many questions

BTW, thanks Greayhead!!!

Oh ! Thanks, I'll fix that today and repost . . .

Bob

PS If I understand correctly - which is doubtful - it means that the surface 'reflects' more light than it receives.
