Metallic Material
Aled started this discussion in Mecabricks Render Farm

Hi Scrubs, the metal material setting was rending as the (correct as far as I can tell) dull metallic finish, but for a little while has been rendering as the super-reflective chrome finish. Can we get the dull metal finish back? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Hello Aled,
the metal materials have been reworked recently to match real life parts.

Left is the metal material on Mecabricks and right is a photo.

Maybe try to use a pearlescent material instead. It is similar to what the old metal material was.

Ah okay - thanks for clarifying. I think that courser surface texture on the photographed helmet does make it a bit duller though. Takes the sharpness out of the reflection - especially under studio lights. This is how my most recent render looks. https://imgur.com/oDG85BQ
