Title: Create a bronze lacquer material such as attached?
Post by: Twibbz on 2018-06-26, 18:57:27

Hi all,
Whilst I’m sure this is simpler than I’m thinking I am struggling to create something similar to the attached. This is a sparkly and metallic material (un-uniform gloss underneath) with a clear plastic coating on top that gives uniform gloss.
Any tips on creating this effect?

I’m also creating lots of clear shiny lacquered wood materials that I think would be similar in setup just with max glossiness but I didn’t know if a layered corona material may be better? Unsure of setup :S

looks like a car paint material and a layered material with a Noise bump clear coat

Layered materials are cool, and I use them all the time, but please be aware that there are a number of issues:

Thanks,
If you think I can get the desired effect, I’ll do what they do in the video, if that’s right :)

The tutorial in the link is before The PBR update which always confuses me :/
Could anyone provide a screen grab of an example?

The trick to make material like these are to blend a dielectric and metallic material together with a noise mask that is not pure black/white. and then blend that material with a coat layer.
I'll hook us up with a dude who can explain this better.
