Setting Diffuse for an object shader? - Polyloop

Aunty Betty · 12th January 2006, 00:58

I can't see where you can modify the diffuse setting for a material/ shader in the shader tree?

Is this possible?

In Carrara Diffuse channel is called COLOR, I think

Yes, it's the color channel

Many thanks for the reply:

So if color = diffuse how do I alter the diffuse values of that shader rather than just modifying the color?

Best Regards

If you were thinking of diffuse as in bryce then I think messing with the highlight and shininess will approximate what you want.

Carrara does not have a diffuse channel. The closest thing to it is the subsurface and the translucency channels.
