XML Scripts for Materials
These contributions are works in progress... some are finished materials. Copy and paste these definitions into your text editor and save it with an .xml extension. They can then be loaded into Pose2Lux via the Menu Option: File -> Load material library.

This is AyaneMatrix's 'rough leather' texture from the LuxPose entry on the Wiki, slightly modified because the original used the deprecated 'glossy_lossy' material. I have converted it to the newer 'glossy' material.

I like this green gel! Here's a more general purpose variant:

In answer to LaurieA's question:
Laurie"
SSS isn't so straightforward - I'll come back to that. Glossy translucent is explained in the Wiki here. As a Pose2Lux library file it looks like this (with fixed bumpMap):
<P2Llib>
<library name="Glossy Translucent">
<material name="Glossy translucent" type="glossytranslucent">
<input>"color Kd" [USE_KD] </input>
<input>"color Kt" [USE_KD] </input>
<input>"color Ks" [USE_KS] </input>
<input>"float uroughness" [0.1]</input>
<input>"float vroughness" [0.1]</input>
<input>"color Ka" [0.0 0.0 0.0] </input>
<input>"float d" [0.0]</input>
<input>"float index" [0.0]</input>
<input>"bool multibounce" ["false"]</input>
<input>"texture bumpmap" [USE_BUMPMAP]</input>
<input>"bool onesided" ["true"]</input>
</material>
</library>
</P2Llib>
SnarlyGribbly:
Here is an example of the use of volumes in an XML file for import into Pose2Lux. This is an example of lake water. Change the <displacementscale> parameter in the 'Lake water' material to change how 'choppy' the water is. Values from 0 to 2 will give optimal results.
<P2Llib>
<library name="Examples">
<material name="Lake water" type="glass2">
<input>"bool architectural" ["false"]</input>
<input>"bool dispersion" ["false"]</input>
<usevolume>Examples/clearwater</usevolume>
<displacement>Examples/water@scale</displacement>
<displacementscale>0.5</displacementscale>
<sharpboundary>False</sharpboundary>
<used_texture>Examples/water@disp</used_texture>
<used_texture>Examples/water@scale</used_texture>
</material>
<volume name="clearwater" type="clear">
<input>"texture fresnel" ["Examples/water"]</input>
<input>"color absorption" [0 0 0]</input>
<used_texture>Examples/water</used_texture>
</volume>
<texture name="water" type="fresnel" value="constant">
<input>"float value" [1.33]</input>
</texture>
<texture name="water@disp" type="float" value="blender_distortednoise">
<input>"float distamount" [1.6]</input>
<input>"float noisesize" [0.25]</input>
<input>"float nabla" [0.025]</input>
<input>"string type" ["blender_original"]</input>
<input>"string noisebasis" ["blender_original"]</input>
<input>"float bright" [1.0]</input>
<input>"float contrast" [0.5]</input>
<input>"vector scale" [1.0 1.0 1.0]</input>
<input>"vector rotate" [0 0 0]</input>
<input>"vector translate" [0 0 0]</input>
</texture>
<texture name="water@scale" type="float" value="scale">
<input>"texture tex1" ["Examples/water@disp"]</input>
<input>"float tex2" [0.1]</input>
</texture>
</library>
</P2Llib>
Some notes:
- The inputs <displacement>, <displacementscale> and <sharpboundary> override any displacement settings in the Material's shader, enabling you to implement procedural displacement.
- Only use one <usevolume> input per material.
- For water to look correct in Lux it MUST have an environment - a lake bed and banks. The water surface is not textured like Poser water: it needs something to be underneath it to look right!
