Render a sphere with potato material

[cornflower12]

Hello, I would like to create an image like that:


So I would like to create an image of a sphere with potato material. The lighting and the material should in principle look exactly like the example image, but I would like to have several variations of it, for which it would be enough to rotate the sphere. To achieve that, I installed Adobe Substance 3D Stager and downloaded this potato material.

I have simply tried it like that:

Unfortunately, the result looks like this:

Can anyone help me make it look like the example? I would be super thankful!

In what stage you made capture? In Render preview or after Final Render?

Hi! It was a final rendering.

Here is the editable file:

You should try scaling down the material, you have it set to 100%, in doing so, it is stretching out the applied potato graphic.

Thank you. But then the light and the materiality still doesn't look like in the example.

Hi @cornflower12,

If you don't wish to set up your own scene, Substance 3D Stager has a sample that is made for this type of case.

File > Open Sample > Material Showcase.

You'll only have to drag and drop your material.

Best regards,

Hi, thank you!

I opened Material showcase, downloaded the potato material as potato_skin.sbsar file, and dropped it on the sphere:

 
I'm using a M2 MacBook Pro, rendering takes a lot of time, I just took Draft as render setting as preview. This is the result:

I feel like there is still a big difference to that:

 

Did I do something in a wrong way?

What was my mistake? 😞

Please go to material property and play with custom properties. Here what I get in preview mode. Also find correct or desired lighting for you.

Oh wow, looks complicated! I can try. Thanks

[cornflower12]

I still couldn't find a way to let it look like in the example 😞

Please look into all properties of Material in Property panel.

This can help you to understand adout each property feature.

Hi @cornflower12!

It looks like lowering the potato material's scattering intensity will fix the issue you are encountering.
