Mastering Weathering Techniques: Pro Tips for Realistic Models

🎬 Complete Guide to Corona AO + Creating Weathered Effects on a Fire Hydrant
In this video, I walk you step-by-step through the process of using Corona Ambient Occlusion (AO) to create a realistic weathered effect on a fire hydrant model in 3ds Max.

📌 What you’ll learn in this tutorial:
• A deep dive into how Corona AO works and how to set it up properly
• How to blend AO with materials to create realistic worn edges
• Creating a custom material and combining it with texture maps
• Performing multiple render tests to refine realism and detail
• Final material tweaks for photorealistic results in lighting and shading

🛠 Perfect for artists who want to enhance their material realism and master Corona Renderer’s AO features.

📌 Ideal for those interested in:
• Photorealistic rendering
• Advanced material workflows
• Post-process material enhancement in 3ds Max
