Extended material mapping system

[David Bluecame]

Call me crazy, but I'm extending the material mapping system to be able to do things like this:

No blend material here, just mapping textures to the Glass Filter Color and IOR refraction factor.

Maybe it's just me but I like to make esoteric materials

I hope to include this new (quite experimental!!) system in the upcoming v0.1.99-beta3 version. I hope you like it!

Thank you David

Hello,

I've released the new Experimental v0.1.99-beta3 for Windows 32/64bit and Linux 32/64bit with the new Extended Texture Mapping system, among other fixes. Please see: http://www.yafaray.org/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5094

The new texture mappings in addition to the existing ones are:

Diffuse Reflection Amount in Shiny Diffuse, Glossy and Coated Glossy materials
Sigma factor for Oren Nayar in Shiny Diffuse, Glossy and Coated Glossy materials
Filter color in Glass and Rough Glass.
IOR refractive factor in Glass and Rough Glass. The texture amounts are added to the IOR of the material.
IOR refractive factor for the Fresnel in Shiny Diffuse and Coated Glossy materials.
Roughness factor in Rough Glass material.
Exponent factor in Glossy and Coated Glossy materials
Mirror amount in Coated Glossy materials.
Mirror Color in Coated Glossy Materials
I also added a (non-texture) mirror amount slider in the Coated Glossy material

Along with the builds, I included some example scenes and images showing the new system. These are some examples. I hope you like the new version

I hope you like these new features and I hope you can also create new beautiful materials now using YafaRay!! Please let us know, share materials with us, and enjoy. Also let us know if you have any issues with the new system.

Best Regards!

Glad you added this feature. Gives a lot more control and flexibility, and interesting effects. Wish I knew how to code or had the patience to learn, I'd love to help out, then.
