One more, it's a conversion off the carpaintshader in stand alone, my interpretation in Lightwave, flakes are procedural..
You can adapt it to you're needs but it's a bit complex (at least to me)
nice weekend guys,

I'm away from my PC at the moment but will download these when I get back.
Thanks.

A conversion off the "Concrete damp" stand alone material, modified the map a little bit so its bigger with lesser repetition of the map...
Use the scalar node to adapt the size

Please mods make this thread sticky!
Thanks Polytek. I adjusted the scene so its not so bluish and to have real sunlight. Hope you don't mind.
Wonder how we can simulate cut glass plate with green sides?

Up to you "geo_n", if you want it a bit more vibrant just up the power off the hdri a bit, i prefer hdri lighting cause i feal it gives more nicer reflections and lighting, have to be careful not to wash out you're colors and overall lighting.

Great stuff guys, thank you very much.
Has anyone have any idea how to make Sea/Water wavy surface wiht Depth simulated ?
I've made it work in LW native but have no idea how to conver something like this into Octane nodes ?

I am trying out some new materials where I control the reflection with a map and the map with a falloff node, it's a bit experimental and maybe i am making it a bit difficult...its an attempt to make a "rich old copper", the reflections are colorized to give it that distinctive copperisch glow.
Wat do you guys think, how can i make this look better?

Looks good to me but maybe you could post image/reference where are you aiming to get
