clay material trouble..

[ToddD]

Ok, I'm just gonna give a general idea of what I think, and it's very possible I'm wrong! =) I would say first to make the material look right as far as specularity, glossiness etc. This will be to your own taste as I don't have any clay here to look at. Next, I would say you want to add a little noise map or something proceedural to the bump slot to give it the look as if it has been handled by human hands. If you are making a soft bodied object, you may want to use "soft selection" when you model to add a "molded" feel to the piece. Hope that helped, at least a little bit!:)

thanks for the comment but I was looking for a little more in depth help. I can do that far, just cant achieve the realism I am after. any other suggestions?

[ToddD]

Sorry man, that's a pretty specific request. Just gave you the general idea. I would say just make a few primitive objects, and a few varieties of your material and figure it out for yourself, if you wait here for a specific answer it may never come. Good luck with your project!:beer:
