Metal Finish Surface Preview Basic Inputs OutputsInputs
In this menu you can define basic settings for the quality and embossing of the surface. The following options are available:
- Sand Blasted: Creates a fine grained surface
- Cast: Creates a surface with a slightly cloudy brightness variation.
- Galvanized: Creates a slight metal grain as a cell-like brightness variation
- Corrugated: Structures the surface with constant and parallel darkening. The surface then looks like corrugated metal
- Embossed Diamond: The surface is given a diamond-shaped structure in which the gaps between the diamond shapes appear darker.
- Embossed Dots: The surface will be given circular shapes in a honeycomb structure. The regions between these circles will be darkened.
- Embossed Grid: Comparable with Embossed Diamond, only that squares are used with darkened gaps.
Here you can define the primary color of the metal. This color can also be modified using the Anodized setting and is affected by the changes in brightness that occur depending on the type of Surface, Scratches and Dirt settings used.
This setting can be used to add a layer of scratches.
This will activate the Ambient Occlusion effect, which will darken corners and edges.
This setting defines the maximum ray length for Ambient Occlusion. The larger the radius, the more that surfaces located farther away from the corner will effect the result and the softer the Dirt will abate.
The higher the value the more a colored Fresnel effect will appear on the surface that will also increasingly replace the original base color. Surfaces viewed perpendicularly will appear reddish; if viewed from an angle, they will appear turquoise.
This setting can be used to adjust the contrast of the output brightness.
