Introduction / Arroway Materials
Subtitles of the Movie (Google SketchUp to Maxwell Render Workflow / Introduction / Arroway Materials)
As I said in the last video, I have some Arroway Materials here in the Maxwell Materials Database, you can see its right here, Materials Database MXM files Arroway underscore v2 and there's this folder Arroway Full Rez. Now you won't have exactly the same contents here, and the reason why is because I can't give them to you, I can only give you the Maxwell Materials, I can give you the images. And the reason why is because these are the real, genuine, Arroway Materials and they're much, much better than the free, sample Arroway Materials that Maxwell gives you as part of the Install. So I highly recommend that if you can afford to get these to go ahead and get them, because they really will make a huge, huge difference in the quality that you get out of these Arroway Materials. Now I modified all these materials and I made them custom myself so they're going to be a little bit different than the settings that you see in the Maxwell system but they are made to be 100 percent compatible with Arroway's Settings in their catalog. So you can see we have Boards, Bricks, Cardboard, Concrete, Metal, pavement, Plaster, Shutters, Stone and Tiles. Now I should warn you, don't attempt to utilize the, I'm going to go ahead and View this here as a List, don't attempt to utilize the Low Rez Images that come with the Maxwell Install, they won't work, they're not right for this at all and they won't come out good. You're going to need to get the High Rez Images from Arroway in order to take advantage of these Arroway Materials that I have created for you. Now, where do we get those images? Well, we go over to Arrowaytextures.com, as you can see right here, then we go down to Products and once we're in Products if you go all the way down, you'll see that all the Textures that I have created there for you are encompassed in this Textures Addition 1, and you can see that there's 102 different textures that are basically for 49 Euros which is not all that expensive, about 75 dollars I believe at the current Exchange Rate in American dollars. But the idea being is that you're getting a lot of textures for not a lot of money, this is a great Arroway Sampler, I really believe in the quality of Arroway's product and I think that you will too once you get a hold of these high-rez textures and utilize them in conjunction with my Maxwell Materials that I'm giving to you. So that said, I am not going to be using the Arroway Materials during the course of the training because I can't be 100 percent certain in whether or not you're going to have access to those materials, so I'm just giving them to you and you can utilize them. Now you saw the different divisions, basically the idea being is that these are divided in the same way and you just go ahead and drop them into the appropriate folder and from that point on you can use the Maxwell Materials just as is, you don't need to do anything else to them just drop in the Images in the appropriate folder and go. So for 49 Euros or about 75 dollars American you can have 102 textures that you don't have to do anything to other than drop them in the appropriate folder. Really it's a great deal I think.
