Hi,

Posting this in here because I can't create a new topic in the C4D help sub forum for some reason (admins any ideas why most posting privileges are so limited?)

I'm trying to make a material for some buttons on a hardware midi controller model.

The buttons need to be translucent, glossy and sometimes emit different coloured light.

So I need a material which isn't completely opaque (could be SSD but not too bothered if it slows renders down), glossy so it shows some specular highlights, and have a layer which is a blackbody emitter capable of showing different colours.

Will this be possible to make in Octane via mix materials and nodes presumably?

Thanks.
