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


Can you create this effect too:

[thomasteger]

Yes it is.

[DriesV]

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.

It's certainly looking better Dries ... Well done chap!

[PhilippeV8]

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

That's some good looking balls! Thanks for sharing - downloading now and plan on playing with them later.

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