Was experimenting with metal flake car paint, and in the process couldn't resist adding some orange peel, for a really ugly paint job look!

The material:

The effect is very sensitive to lighting and works great in certain conditions and almost non-existent in others:

This is very nice, thanks for sharing it would come in handy in the LiveDB for use on machinery and crude robotics. This is akin to a spray paint job on pitted metal.

Thanks Tugpsx. I'll post it there. I've never posted materials before, so I just need to learn how. Should be a snap.

Material is in LiveDB. It is called "Metal Flake Car Paint", and is currently in the Materials/Misc folder. It may get moved into the Materials/Non-Organic/Paint folder.

Did it get a different name? I see a quick blue test but not the name you mentioned.

Nice material and good job. But I can't see it. Could you check this in LiveDB?
