BTW, what is the proper way to use Thin Film. Plug it in refl color and adjust fresnel IOR in material or set fresnel IOR to 999 and adjust film IOR in ThinFilm map?

If need clear ThinFilm coat - use only ThinFilm plugin into reflection color (always disable material IOR param (999) - plugin calculates own fresnel curve). When need slightly film coated effect - best way to use Blend material or mixing (composite) maps. Here almost endless variation :) In future (soon) I will make some tutorials for ThinFilm and ComplexFresnel usage.

Only after seeing this now, thanks very much.

One issue I'm having is having to use really low values in the nm amount. Like 0.01 min and 0.02 in max with noise as map in this example at value 5. Whereas this should be 500000 / 1000000. The limit you have here is 3000.

I wanted have .5mm to 1mm.

BTW> My max is setup with cm as system units.

Happy with the results though. :]

Film thickness value not depends on system units - it's internal float values and specifies film thickness in nanometers.

P. S. In most cases I'm using units cm. Only for very small models (f. e., jewelry, etc...)  - mm, very large exterior - m., etc...
