Metalness

[phunkidude]

Is there a recommended workflow for creating metals in Corona. We are coming from using VRay in Modo and Metals are extremely easy. It seems a little more manual in Corona.

Thanks

Its super simple.

Just increase the Fresnel IOR value in the Reflection slot. Anything from 20 up will give a metal effect. For mirrored chrome you can crank it up to 999 i think.

Obviously its better to disable diffuse colour too
