Cool Cinema 4D material: Ice textures for 3D scenes
Create icy worlds with the Cinema 4D material in this package and give your 3D objects a cool ice look with the ice textures . Various shaders are available for this purpose, offering you the textures, facets and even colors of ice.
To use the shaders - see also the videos in the "Examples" tab
You will receive a total of 10 shaders with different appearances, applicable from Cinema 4D R16 upwards. So you can choose the right ice texture for your scene. The package includes a quick guide if you have never or only rarely worked with materials in Cinema 4D.
To apply the shaders, 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 ice shaders in the presets. 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. You can find more shaders here, for example for metal and rust surfaces as well as for rock and stone textures.
The advantages of procedural textures
All 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.
