Coat material help

Hello

I found this article about coating:

http://blog.maxwellrender.com/tips/push ... materials/

What would be the octane equivalent? With detail example, please, for someone stupid like me :-) ! I found a topic in the forum, someone (NVN) talk about "fresnel shader for blending". Do I need two geometries? can I do it with one single layered material ?

Also , I have difficulties to understand material and their parameters (I'm currently using a "try and luck" method :) ) of course I use materials from liveDB and try to understand them but my results are not good. What ressources, books, tutorials I must read to have a better understanding of materials (SSS, fresnel, ....) and then use this knowledge in Octane ?

Thanks for your help
