Iridescent metal material

BartsGarage — Sat, 03 Sep 2016 09:35:52 GMT

Hi!

I wonder if I can create iridescent metal material in fusion 360. The color shade in such material bases on angle falloff (different shade on different angles).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

@BartsGarage Currently no. This type of material is more complex than what most default materials in render engines offer.

You deal with flakes and the angle based color change.

@hutchij: Is this your next challenge?

bumping this as we are looking at using some iridescent thin films in our product and would love to render it.

@Anonymous & @BartsGarage,

May I suggest one you enter this request in the IdeaStation? It could bump up the priority for getting this material in the library.

Thanks

Colin
