Wood anisotropic reflection

Hmm, your material is quite complex and I’m not so happy about some parameters. :wink:

I think, you could work with a single material and use layers there. I would use simple layers, no BRDF. So we could better kept the overview.

  • On the top a fresnel reflection layer for the clear coat.
  • Below the metallic reflection layer, visibility controlled by the opacity color (fresnel texture disabled). I set a low gossiness and an anisotropy. After some more testing now I found that we get a nice effect per rotation map (a soft b&w version of the wood). Now, it doesn’t look like homogeneous brushed metal anymore. :slight_smile:
  • At the low end the basic diffuse texture.

I think, the key for a good looking aniso wood effect is to find the right map for the rotation control.

Yesterday I observed a fish bone pattern wood parquets and there was a clearly visible nice aniso effect. So, for high end quality wood parquets viz this kind of setup could be great. Here a nice photo example. The aniso effect cause the dark and bright row look.

right material with some metalic brush effect and mapped rotation control

This is the map for the rotation
