Keyshot 6.1 Tutorial : How to create an emissive / LED light effect

hey guys Mike here I'm is tutorials and welcome back to a new video all right well today we're going to do a keyshot 6.1 video and for those of you who do not have keyot you can get a trial or student version for free and I'll put the link below all right so I modeled a simple wheel in Maya and what we're going to do today is we are going to create an a light band kind of an LED effect okay so I'll just uh load my image file import image and wheel there we go and import and what I did is I created a simple color map in Maya so we're going to add some metal to this yellow color we're going to add some rubber to the red and the blue we're going to make that emissive okay so let's start by creting some materials we're going to go down to uh let's see under Plastics we're going to go to soft and rubber there we go we're going to add that to our tire then let's see we're going to go back up to mold Tech and we'll give the tire some structure let's do the pebble We'll add that here now the effect is kind of minimal so we're going to do is we're going to go into our material under models and we're going to go with our molte we're going to go to position and let's see um let's double click on it that works a bit quicker uh we're going to go to the mapping tool and we're going to make sure we're at scale and we're going to left click and drag on that Cube there and and just to give it a bit more structure we're starting to get there there you go then we're going to switch to Chrome for our wheel itself and what we'll do is we'll use a basic Chrome and we'll add that right there and then for our emissive band we're going to go to Plastics we're going to go to hard plastic and rough and we'll take this color and add that right there and then we're going to go into the color properties and for that we'll double click on it and what we're going to do is we're going to go to the properties we're going to change plastic to emissive like so and then we have the opportunity to increase the intensity so let's bump that up to about 32 okay and already you can see a bit of the effect there then we're going to change the background we're going to go to a uh let's see if we can find a nice dark environment let's try this factory setting here and yeah looks kind of cool let's see if we got something that looks even better yeah that's nice okay all right so what we're going to do is we're going to render this guy we're going to go to render settings and then render I'll just call this wheel gpeg and I'll save this on my desktop there we go go to the highest to value in presets I'll pause the video Hit render and see you guys in a sec well guys here's the end result of our render as you can see it turned out okay and uh you know the topic obviously is this uh emissive blue here and you can see that it's shining nicely so you can use that technique for all kinds of things uh for example for LED lights or whatnot all right cool so that's it for this tutorial if you have any questions let me know and that said thank you guys for watching and see guys next time
