22 Cinema 4D shaders: Add photorealistic metal surfaces to your 3D objects.
The textures can be scaled and adapted as required for large and small surfaces.
From gloss to rust - with this variety of materials, you'll find the right metal look.
Included: Cinema 4D and library file as well as short instructions for use.
Set reflections, effects or highlights with the Cinema 4D onboard tools

No matter how your 3D surfaces twist and turn - these shiny to rusty metal textures won't let them go! Download the shaders and put them on!

Examples of use

3D object with a shader for rust.

Open gallery

Example (from R13): Is your object exposed to the forces of nature? Then simply apply rust.

Silver shader for use in Cinema 4D, shown on an exemplary 3D object.

Open gallery

Example (from R13): Or is your 3D object fresh from production? Then let it shine!

3D object from Cinema 4D with a shader for creating metallic surfaces.

Open gallery

Example (from R13): Avoid unsightly cut edges and use procedural textures instead.

3D object, provided with a texture in Cinema 4D.

Open gallery

Example (from R16): And one thing is certain - no matter how big your object is - the metal clings to it.

Whether shiny or rusty, fresh from production or exposed to the forces of nature - with these 22 textures for use in Cinema 4D, you can apply the right surface. Give your 3D objects an elegant gold, silver and black finish or let the ravages of time gnaw away at them with stain and abrasion. You can scale the procedural shaders as you wish, even on large surfaces there are no cut edges as with conventional textures. Of course, you can also use the Cinema 4D functions to further customize the metal look to your liking.

With this package you will receive a Cinema 4D file containing the 22 shaders. It also contains an example object (including lighting setup) to which you can apply the shaders directly.

22 Cinema 4D shaders: Provide your 3D objects with photorealistic metal surfaces.
The procedural textures can be scaled and customized as desired.
From gloss to rust - with this variety of materials you will find the right "metal look".

15 shaders are applicable from Cinema 4D R13. A further 6 shaders use the Inverse Ambient Occlusion for an even more realistic representation, which is available from Cinema 4D R18. One shader can be used from R16.

Whether shiny or rusty, fresh from production or exposed to the forces of nature - with these 22 textures for use in Cinema 4D, you can apply the right surface. Give your 3D objects an elegant gold, silver and black finish or let the ravages of time gnaw away at them with stain and abrasion. You can scale the procedural shaders as you wish, even on large surfaces there are no cut edges as with conventional textures. Of course, you can also use the Cinema 4D functions to further customize the metal look to your liking.

With this package you will receive a LIB file that you can call up in Cinema 4D via the Content Browser to load the shaders from there into your scenes. Copy the LIB file into the browser subfolder, which is located in the library folder of your Cinema 4D folder structure. In Cinema 4D, open the Content Browser under Window. Here you will find the library of metal shaders in the presets, sorted into three subfolders. Double-click on the desired shader and its alpha to load it into the scene you have already opened. Use the Cinema 4D tools and functions to further customize the textures to your liking.

Rust & metal textures for pure photorealism in C4D
Does your 3D object need a metallic sheen or a rusty, decayed appearance? Then apply these C4D textures and create surfaces that look as natural as if they came straight out of the camera.
You receive 22 shaders with a wide variety of metal textures , so that you have the right surface available for your 3D objects. Most of them are applicable from Cinema 4D R13 upwards, one shader works from R16. Some shaders use Inverse Ambient Occlusion, which is used from Cinema 4D R18 onwards. The advantage: with this function, effects such as rust or chipped paint are also created at corners or overlaps - for an even more realistic appearance. You can find other shaders here, for example for rock and stone surfaces as well as for ice textures.

The advantages of procedural textures

Shaders are much more than just textures. While these are usually tiled, i.e. joined together, the procedural textures in this package are created using algorithms. The automatic calculation ensures a photorealistic representation - without cut edges, with multi-level reflections, no matter how large your surface is. The natural look of the render result is usually achieved by using fractal noise and turbulence functions.

How to use the shaders in Cinema 4D - see also videos in the "Examples" tab

A step-by-step quick guide is included in the package in case you have never or rarely worked with materials in Cinema 4D. Basically, you copy the supplied LIB file into the browser subfolder, which is located in the library folder of your Cinema 4D folder structure.

In Cinema 4D, open the Content Browser under Window. Here you will find the library of metal shaders in the presets, sorted into three subfolders. Double-click on the desired shader and its alpha to load it into the scene you have already opened. Alternatively, you can also use a C4D file. Use the tools and functions of Cinema 4D to further customize the textures to your liking.
