Stainless Steel

[Frosty]

Anyone have a decent shader for stainless that doesnt take ages to render. I built one based on a noctura shader, but i wasnt pleased with the results.

sorry m8, the one i usually use (when im not using SLA) is a noctua shader -

 

 

it does look pretty good if you turn the grain down, turn on a monochromic reflection and shine it up tho

Frosty and Strat,

 

Here's a brushed SS Mat I created using the basic C4D channels (no SLA). It renders pretty fast especially if you turn off the blur in the reflection channel.

 

You can download the shader here.

 

Here's an example along with the material channels. You can replace the bmp texture and the Radiance map with anything you want. I just shot our lobby to get a quick HDR image.
