Shiny materials

This is more of a place to show and download a variety of paint/lacquer materials than a tutorial on how to create them. Each of these materials will work in general lighting conditions which contain a light for specular effects but every scene is different and in some scenes your results will be a mixed bag. Just load in one of these presets into the Material Library Scene to see how well they 'don't' work there.

These presets work, for the most part, with GI and are most effective in a contrasty, dark scene - bright needs dark to compliment it well.

The scene with alternate lighting and presets created can be downloaded here:

These images are an example of how the presets look under different lighting conditions:

Black Cherry

Colored_NoGi

CarPaint Blue

CarPaint Red

Green

Grey

Midnight Blue

These and additional Paint and Lacquer materials can be found in the Material Gallery as individual downloads.

 Have some fun, experiment and feel free to send me examples of how you have used the materials......but above all, make it nice and shiny!:-)
