Clear plastic cap distorts the metallic effect underneath...

Strange, maybe the material database LiveDB plastic has some extra white in it? (mix material)

What if you recreate the material from scratch?

whersmy,

Not sure at the moment. I'm working my through it and think I will build from scratch. It might be better to fix in post. Maybe? Thanks.

whersmy,

You were right. There was some colour to the plastic.



Thanks.

Show us the end result!

Damn it. I knew you were going to ask that.

As always, I was distracted and moved onto another project. I'll follow up next week with some renders!

Thanks.

Okay. Here's another test. Refractive index was left at 1.1. No octane override, just MODO material. Pure white. Seems to fix that issue for the plastic cap. I'll keep messing around.

Keep working, looking good!
