Procedural Rust (Or Anything) With Data Channel | 3ds Max

[@pxl3322]

This is absolutely outstanding. There are so few tutorials for learning the Data Channel in 3ds Max. I’ve occasionally checked them out, but I never felt the urge to dive deeper. You explain it in such an interesting way. I hope you'll create another tutorial in the future on how to use this amazing tool.

Great vid! Data channel modifier is overpowered - every max user should learn it.

[@yamar4116]

the mesh smooth un-apply to whole selection just blew my mind - I have been searching for this one for decades and have used more complicated destructive and slow methods. Thank you!!!!

[@Iqroh]

OMG finally. Now I understand the power of the data channel. Thank you!

[@electroluxia]

6:14 - Hilarious. I sing, "Smooth Operator" by Sade, when I put it in the Data Channel, as well. 😂👍 Another _excellent_ post. Invaluable. Thank you!

[@RenderRam]

How can you NOT do that hahaha

[@lucascristoo]

The mesh smooth option just blown my mind 🤯😂 Having details only where they should be, is fantastic! Yeah, Data channel it's not so easy to learn, but, worth it. Thank you a lot for the content. It really help and lead us to explore more about this tool.

[@hotlineoperator]

Awesome yes. Difficult to master yes. This is a whole new system, like particles

[@Afro_ninjaest]

awesome !!!!! thank you for sharing! data channel has so much pottential!

[@arqbolognesi]

this video was truly spectacular, I am very interested in applying this technique to concrete structure imperfections.

[@RenderRam]

Just remember that data channel is dependant on topology, so make sure to add a few edges to those borders so that data channel can grab onto something

[@VFX_schoenberger]

realy great video :) good work!

[@lawebley]

If the effect was inverted, the rust could easily become welding artifacts.

[@RenderRam]

That's the whole point, this thing is endless with what it could be used for

[@3DRnD]

Nice tutorial.. i still didnt dive into data channel so much .. but the meshsmooth trick is awesome

[@naxosCG]

Ohhh !!! That was you !!! I did not made parrallel between my top-5 favourite YT channel guy and this FB post !! I'm too old for social medias ;-)

[@ediphh]

Thanks for that, really good!

[@obaidalotfi9952]

Great Vid, Thanks, I Gotta Feeling......that [Data Channel] is kind of Advanced [Volume Select] Modifier, that's it!

[@cicko10]

Very useful tutorials. I just hope you don't transfer them to a paid site. Long live free knowledge. Thank you Vjeko.📖🎓

[@ooops123]

Can make tutorial on vertex paint in 3ds max tutorial it is very helpful ❤🥺

[@VRTL_WRLD]

Love it!

[@smukkegreen]

That is very cool. Seems like a rust script would be possible to make.

[@saschi8x4]

Supercool, thx❤

[@clearstoryimaging]

I'm going to try to create wet map effect with Data channel!

[@FaisalIqbalvfx]

Awesome

[@IskanderVFX]

works with 0.99 and not with 1 because with 1 it cycles the thing 😅

[@RenderRam]

Totally makes sense, but I still don't get why the default vale is min: -5000 and max: 5000
