And here you can see the fresnel effect in reflections on some aged plastic.

You can definitely see the impact the roughness map has on the fingerprints. If find just the fresnel looks the best.
Is the tweaking of the custom curve just a hit and miss affair? I can see the presets but is there info somewhere on this?

As far as I know for Thea you have just this at the moment. But of course you can find something searching on the net.

Thanks for that.
@everyone...
sorry for spoiling this thread with meaningless banter that should occur over on the Thea forums

Anyway the concept is basically that at a 0° deg angle you can see reflections coming from what you have in the reflectance slot, and at 90° deg angle you'll see reflections coming from what you have in the fresnel slot. Adjusting the curve you can change this transition/balance relating to the viewing angle (in the x axes you have the degrees). Here you have the same plastic with a different curve. As you can see the transition in reflections is more abrupt from 0° to 90° deg because the curve goes from 0° to 90° deg more drastically.

How have you the Structure box in the same area as the Scatter box?
Another off topic query....
That explanation makes perfect sense.

Well I think that many rendering app (for example Vray & Maxwell) support something like that. So maybe interesting also for non-Thea users.

Control + Left Click (on Layer/Scatter/Struct buttons). Merge layer/scattering/structure properties listed in a single panel.

Thanks Massimo....

I don't have any of these renderer's and I found this post most rewarding. Massimo - thanks so much for taking the time here to explain the detail in the material, and thanks for the model as well!
