materials problem_ I can go back?

[blendervrayf]

hello ..
could you tell me if with vray 3.0 and blender 2.74.4 I can go back to the version without nodes.

it all seems too hard for me and I lose a lot of time to understand the basics of the materials .. for example I do not understand how to adjust the strength of bump map.

thanks

You can't.

thanks ...
after my post , I realized the control..sorry

However, these nodes are a bit complicated without references but I am starting to understand some things.

I noticed a remarkable versatility over the previous method.

thanks for your work

sorry but you could tell me how to invert the effect of a black end white texture

I'm using it for the channel refract glossiness.
tnx

You could use smth like this:

thanks dancer ..
I noticed that several nodes have that option.


slowly I make progress but not yet figured out how to use the node 2 sided to create curtains or lamps with transparency.
for example if I create a lamp of cloth the node 2sided only creates transparency but not a good dispersion of light on the fabric..
have you any advice ?? previously without nodes was very easy to create this effect but now I do not understand how to do (I'm trying for several hours without results).
tnx

Could you pls post scenes / results?

in the picture some tests I had done time ago (the best one I can not find)



others are reference images found on line

The issue is with your Translucense param, when its white or black it i'll use front / back material. Leave it to default grey 0.5 and you'll see the effect.
If it still won't work for you pls share the scene.
Also use bump material before 2 sided.

looks ok but why in the back is darker (the surface has no thickness)
