      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.

                      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!
