M's Tire Shader (Blender)
Procedural Tire Shader for Blender (3.4+) with a bunch of controls and a script that makes the setup easy.
Can be applied to any Tire Model, doesn't require UVs.
(Except if you want to add your own normal map with text for the side of the tire, then you need to UV just the side and can ignore the rest)
KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS:
- For the included setup script to work you have to disable the "Object: Align Tools" addon. After you run the script you can enable it again.
- Appending the shader to 4.1 may reset shadow visibility, causing the invisible texture placers to cast shadows on tires. Fix: Toggle shadow checkbox on and off.
11.09.2023 : Lettering Update - Be sure to use the V2 blend files and the V2 script!
This tire shader has the lettering shader included: http://marvluebke.gumroad.com/l/TireLettering
Tire Model shown in images/videos is NOT included.
Thanks to Lukas Mirek for letting me use his Tire Model.
Thanks to George Russell for helping me figure out some technical parts of this Shader.
