OTOY Forums

Hi to everyone,
i tried to meke a good carpaint material because it was needed for a job.
i tried to have a look in the forum reaching this results, that is good enough if it's looked from enough distance, but doesn't seem realistic.
so far is made with 2 mix material:
1st mix: - metal colour
-Flakes

2nd mix: -1st mix
- Coat surfing on the web i found this video made with octane and the result is incredible!

does anyone have an idea of how to make it?
the only idea i have is to put a normal map somewhere to give that reflection effects

Hi Lorenzo,
did you try to have a look at the Metal Flakes Car Pint in LiveDB? ciao beppe

Hi Beppe,
yes, i tried.
but i would like to achieve the result shown in the video.
the livedb material looks good, but they don't have the same quality (in my opinion)

Hi to everyone,
starting fron a Live DB material, i achieved this results adding a normal map in the base metal material and in the flakes material as well
