What It Does

TG Glitter is a Reflectance shader which is designed to give effects such as a glittery or metallic paint style of material. A wide range of reflectance attributes can be set for the base and glitter materials, with special controls for breaking the noise up into “squares” of glitter, and for varying how the glitter’s strength varies with angle of view. As well as the impression of glitter or flakes embedded within a paint or lacquer, the shader can produce the look of particles of glitter stuck onto a surface, as well as other more varied and unusual effects of course!

 

Features and Suggested Uses

1. Can create the appearance of a surface covered with glitter.

2. Can create metallic paint type materials.

3. Can create a variety of other materials, such as sand, snow or rock (anything where there are “specks” which have different reflectance attributes).
