.. looks like I can no longer see any picture that is on the forum ?  Izitjustme ?

*edit* hmm yeah, it was just me .. re-loaded-lowzy-internet-explorah


On the second image, you get too close and the flakes look like floating.


Can you create this effect too:

I wasn't really pleased with my initial attempt.
So I changed a few things in the glitter materials. I optimized the glitter textures and made them tileable.
Philippe, indeed the glitters seemed to 'float'. This was mainly due to the base material being way too diffuse. So I swapped it for a metallic paint with visible flakes. I think the combination of flakes and glitters makes for an interesting effect.

For those interested, you can grab the updated scene here (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw6BI0tv_sN8R2o0cXkwamJTa3M/edit?usp=sharing).

How about a clear-coat-varnish that embeds the glitters ?  ;D

Nice - I guess you did another slight offset of the sphere surface?

Yes.
There is a total of 3 spheres per ball, inner to outer layers:
*Base material (metallic paint)
*Small as possible offset (for a sphere, a simple scale did the trick) for the glitter material
*A slightly larger offset for the clearcoat (glass material)

Here's a variation with thin film coating.

This is great. You could also try and use a label to get the coating effect.

Post by: DriesV on October 09, 2013, 12:09:13 PM
A final variation. Here I turned the base spheres into point lights.
The outer spheres are thin film.

Thomas, good tip about the labels!
