Grime or DirtyUp type shading?

[Bytehawk]

what I do mostly is bake a radiousity luminousity map with background rad and no lights
I then use that map as an alpha map for the diry

You can use Grit 2.0, which will dirty up the cracks and crevices of your objects:

There's also Worley's Disgust plugin, which can be useful for a variety of dirty textures.

Hope this helps!

As ByteHawk mentioned you can make an all white version of your object and do a radiosity render and bake it. The same map can applied to the diffuse channel as well as the alpha for additional effects. :)

thanks Larry for clearing up my post.

Boy using qwerty is killing me.

Hope to get back at my usual keyboard in a few days...

And while you are at it, how is this done with objects that have n-gons (polys > 4 vertices)?

I'd love to know how I could do it without having to triple the beasts.

There's a mini-tutorial in the manual, showing how to bake an accessibility map. Look up surface baker. In this tutorial, they bake to vertex colour, though better results can be achieved by baking to a UV map.

And while you are at it, how is this done with objects that have n-gons

Surface baker doesn't like n-gons, but i reckon you could make a copy of your UV mapped object, tripple the n-gons and then bake to it's UV. Then just use the resulting image as a map for the original, non-tripled object..... methinks.

You may want to search for a post a LOOOOONG time ago about a car...

Someone added dirt to it, it was amazing...but I have no idea now who or how they did it.

I do remember it was a white sport car in a dirt track race setting.

Anyone remember that one...? The dirt method was brilliant!

Proton..?
