I have decided to also look at coloured lenses .... so adding that to my tutorial.

Here is a red lense test I am working on.

I have been working with iray - testing lense textures for car headlights. I hope to get the updated tutorial online in a few weeks. I will show an updated Mental Ray texture and the iray texture.

Here is the iray render of a spherical car headlight.

I am just putting the final touches to a tutorial showing the full texture setup for Mental Ray. Here is a preview, and a rendered image. Hopefully online in the next few days.

 

The Mental Ray part of the Headlight Textures Tutorial is now online :
