Here y’all go:  a free material for DAZ|Studio to make nonskid deckplate out of nearly anything.  Even works on clothes.

As a cultural historian, Dawson understood that the core of a culture is found once we locate the thing that the culture would never relinquish, or even imagine itself relinquishing. I submit that in our case it is not individual liberty, or sex, and certainly not religion. It is not even the machine. Rather, it is the machine insofar as it promises an activity superior to the human act. ~ RUSSELL HITTINGER

That certainly jacks up the render time, but it looks incredible. Gave a car a polish in a test. The red tint adds a very realistic “sub-rust” effect, should be great on ageing spacecraft.

Nice one, Eustace!

Considering how much SF rendering I’ve been doing lately, I suspect I can make use of this somewhere… wink

Thank you!

Y’all are all welcome.  It came of seeing lots of deck plate at work and thinking “I could do that with a weave node…”

All in deck-plate:  here’s an M2 muscleman (older morphs, by Blacksmith3D) made of and on the metal.

Um…

Rather clueless here. I have DS 4.5. How do you use this material? I find it listed under Shader Presets - Mephistopolis Beta.

select figure/prop/object in your scene tab; select surface in your surfaces tab and double click on the shader.

Oh. I see. A shader sets the parameters for a surface much like a pose sets the parameters for a figure. Never understood shaders before. I’ll have to play with some more of them.

hehe It made a 5 minute render into a 45 minute render raspberry
