After failing to find a decent tutorial online I decided to start experimenting and I came up with this. I already knew how to make decent looking rock but I needed a way of generating loads quickly for a very rocky landscape. In <a href="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/part2.asp" target="_blank">Part 2</a> we are going to distribute those Rocks on a large scale using Vray Mesh Export and the Advanced Painter Plugin.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; You need. 3ds Max, V-Ray, and Francois Mourlevat’s <a href="http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/asteroid-generator" target="_blank">Asteroids Generator Script</a> and the texture inluded in the <a href="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/vrayrocks_part1.zip" target="_blank">scene file</a> which is a modifies version of a texture I got from <a href="http://cgtextures.com/" target="_blank">CG Textures</a>.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; There is a video that shows the process at the end of the tutorial.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/rock_part1_01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Create a Rock using Asteroids Generator Script using the settings below.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; You can have a mess around with these parameters. It’s ok to delete the rock that appears when you open the script. The settings I have used are good for the jagged rocks I need. Hit the Creation Button.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/rock_part1_02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2&nbsp;Apply a Displacement Modifier to the rock. (Note that this is not Vray Displacement Modifier.) I used a strenght of 180mm. Select Shrink Wrap. Make sure you Load the Rock bitmap into the Map box as shown in the expanded view. <a href="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/rock_part1_03_large.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/rock_part1_03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 3&nbsp;Apply a Turbosmooth Modifier to the stack. An Iteration of 2 is fine. I would leave it at this if you are going to be using a lot of rocks <a href="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/rock_part1_04_large.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/rock_part1_04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 4&nbsp;Open the material editor and create a VrayMtl. Load the same bitmap we used for the Displacement Modifier into the Diffuse Slot. We are using the same bitmap for everything. You will see in the expanded view that I have dragged it down and ‘copied’ it into the Bump Map slot as well. I also added a Falloff Reflection as shown. This creates a realistic look to the rocks by adding a nice reflection to the perpendicular and parallel angles. Remember, Everything reflects! You can take the Reflect amount down to 40 or lower and turn Refl. glossiness down to 0.5. You can mess around with these levels.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/rock_part1_05_large.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/rock_part1_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Apply the material to the rock and add a uvwmap modifier to the rocks modifier stack.

Copy the Material in the Bump Slot over to the Texmap box. Amount 5.0mm, Resolution 300 and Precision 5. Nice and low for rendering. Note: to speed up the rendering you can use 3D mapping, instead of 2D mapping, for a slightly different, but faster result.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/rock_part1_08_large.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/rock_part1_08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; At this stage hit render to see what your rock looks like. Note: To get some light in the scene, change the Environment slot to white if it’s not already.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 7&nbsp;Using another script called pivot placer which is part of Blur Scripts I placed the pivot to the bottom centre of the rock. Hit right mouse button on the Z: Position spinner arrows to get the rock on the floor. blur scripts link <a href="http://www.neilblevins.com/blurscripts/blurscripts.htm" target="_blank">http://www.neilblevins.com/blurscripts/blurscripts.htm</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://vray.info/tutorials/vrayrocks/assets/rock_part1_09.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 8&nbsp;Using the Asteroids Generator hit Creation to create more rocks.
