    This will be great to use with the materia mesh maker plugin once it's released. Hopefully both will launch together.

    Damn, I'm currently good with reducing my spendings. Not bought much in the New Year. But this product will probably one of the exceptions.

    laugh  I will say it makes my library more valuable.  I just finished up a "Winter Fun" Now-Crowd project, and it was awesome for making any scene have snow.

    I like it very much. It could add more interest to the render. Used Lava and Mud.

    Thanks for this excellent product .The script offer nice controls. For now i have tested only snow shade If it would possible to control the colors of snow it would be better (too blue color according to me even i have tried some different light settings)

    Definitely required!

    How are the renders possible, where only the top or one side has a snow or mud shader applied, while the rest of the object does not?

    Maybe use it in conjunction with other shaders to complete the illusion?

    Nope.  If you look at the script promo, you will notice that there are translation sliders.  By default, the element geoshell is moved up and over so one side will be mostly clean.  You tweak the sliders to get the look you want.

    You're welcome!  @Marshian will need to answer this one.

    You can:

    1. CHange the translucency color to white or turn translucency down
    2. You can put the bump map into the base color, replacing the default map
    3. You can increase diffuse overlay weight with white as the color

    Try some or all of these and see how it works. Try them in this order as I'm thinking it's the translucency color that is weighing the heaviest on this effect. 

    My goal with this bright blue is to assist with vibrant blue shadows (reflecting a clear blue sky), one of the qualities of real snow I like. laugh

    I have the same question. I wonder if it's just a matter of scaling the geoshell and adjusting it's displacement. For the mud on the top of the vehicle, maybe the geoshell is scaled down to something less than 100% and then displaced along the Y-axis. Here's a quick and dirty render I did using a basic geoshell and applying the following combination of parameter adjustments to the geoshell:

    • Mesh offset distance: 0.4
    • Scale: 97.5%
    • Y-Translate: 0.8
    • Z-Translate: 0.8

    (I should point out that my sample image was not created using the new product, which obviously has a lot more features and cool looking textures)

    Awesome product - can we look forward to add-ons with more materials?

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 24,244

    The  name of this product really threw me off. I had no idea what a MARSA element was, and so I just skipped right past it on the new releases page. I guess MARSA is just a combination of PA names and not a descriptive term at all. How would I ever find this product in the store (yeah, assuming we even had a store search that worked, I mean)? It doesn't show up in a store search for shaders, mud, snow, or lava. I think you may have done yourselves a disservice with this nondescriptive product name.

    The best of the best. Awesome. One of its kind. Just missing the words, to describe, how much it makes me happy.

    Thank you very, very much for creating such a wonderful product, Marshian and RiverSoftArt.

    Yup MARshian and RiversoftA (MARSA).  The Elements was because it is not just snow or mud or moss, but a whole range.  I *did* put in for keywords: shader, cover, snow, lava, algae, moss, mud, sand, wax.  In addition to the text of the description, this should be enough to find it.  Hopefully, this will get this web site working smoothly one day.

    Thank you for the kind words @Artini.  That looks really beautiful!  As I said, this quickly became indispensible for making snow or mud scenes.  It makes me happy to use environment products for winter that I couldn't use before without a snow option.

  • ArtiniArtini Posts: 9,461

    Thanks again, RiverSoftArt. Yes, it is my favorite toy, as well, and I am overwhelmed with the possibilities it has opened for me to explore.
