Hello, is there a solution to create easily uneven edges? Simply the one that are into the real word where nothing is perfect!!! I’ve been trying the trick of VrayCompTex +vrayedge + Noise (as explain by http://www.peterguthrie.net/blog/tag/vraycomptex/ ), but the problem is that the bump is al ove…

welll.. depending on the model of coure… you should chamfer the edges.. but you can also try bump maps of course… which are layed out correctly so that only the edges are effected… procedural will be a bit difficult I guess… otherwise what you already mentioned should help as well… other nice thing…

As Bernhard said it’s a tough one to do, someone’s written a script to automate it - might be worth a look. Deformed Edges | ScriptSpot

Thanks, yes I’have a look to this script but was expecting a trick from the pro. Seems there is simply none…

Hmm - how come the edges texture is not working as it is in Peter’s tutorial? If it’s a problem with you having denser edges, an inverted normals vray dirt should do the same?

Do you have a reference photo of what you’re trying to recreate? And if you’re having trouble with the tutorial and getting bump all over, something must be wrong with your texture setup. If I’d try to accomplish a really realistic model with rough edges like that, I’d probably unwrap the model so…

Well, I pick up some exagerated reference picture to illustrate the problem. Every object in real life have different edges variation link to their properties i.e. age, material type, way it has been produce or cut… [25numarksm.jpg] [20090405-PHIL0088-494x328.jpg]

Yep I’d agree with window above that there’s something going weird with the way your edges tex is masking the object. I’d do some simple tests where you use the edges tex as a mask for straight colour first, so you know that it’s giving you only the areas you want.

Will try to explain the problem…To deform edge you need a big amount of bump (like 30)but for the plane you need a very subtle amount (like 1, 2 or 3). Unfortunatly the main slider control both, noise bump inside the edge as wall as the bump of the surface! On top of that, the noise of the vrayedge…

Looking at Peter’s tutorial, you seem to have your comp operators the wrong way around. Your ‘Map #7’ should be AxB, ‘Map #3’ should be A+B. I can’t be sure if this will fix the problem but it might be worth a look.

Ah okay!

So for that, you could probably use another edges tex setting so that the edges are masked with a white colour value (255), and the plane section gets 10% of that (025) so you’ll be able to get the strength difference you’re looking for.
