4 More Shaders

Have added 4 more shaders for your collection (download here), 2 versions of an old plaster wall, and 2 different fabric weave patterns.



I admit to being inspired by the excellent textures from "The Tale of Despereaux", about a mouse and some rats. Since all the action takes place with these small creatures, you spend a lot of time being close enough to see the weave of the fabric on their clothes. The plaster wall is based on plaster I saw in a 100 year old house.

4 New Shaders

Have added 4 new free Carrara shaders (download them here).

My current output is very much inspired by things that are getting old or falling into disrepair. The latest 4 shaders are Mildew, Parchment, Old Mirror and Speckled Ceramic:



I always try, wherever possible, to keep my shaders procedural, using only Carrara's built in shader functions so that they are easy to customise and adjust.

Welcome

Welcome to the Virtual Matter blog. This is where I will comment, waffle, and hopefully share knowledge about Carrara.

For now, if you don't already know about it, let me draw your attention to my shader sharing website:

Here you can download free Carrara shaders, and even share your own. Happy shading.
