Flex Paint

Has the same three layers (base coat, metallic flakes, and a clear top coat) with the added flex-ibility of a custom falloff color.

Inputs

Base Coat

Color

Specifies the base color of the paint.

Falloff Color

Specifies the color seen at glacing angles.

Metallic

Controls the metallic appearance of the base paint coat.

Roughness

Controls the roughness of the base paint coat.

Curve Factor

The curve factor determines how quickly the falloff color fades. A lower value means a smoother transition from the base pigment color to the falloff color, while at 1.0, it’s just the falloff color.

Use Subtractive Color Mixing

Uses the Kubelka-Munk model to simulate subtractive color mixing.

Pigment Scatter

Note

Only works when Subtractive Color Mixing is enabled.

Controls how much the light is scatters within the base layer pigment.

Pigment IOR

Note

Only works when Subtractive Color Mixing is enabled.

The refractive index of the internal medium. Typically in the range of 1.33 and 1.5 (water and oil respectivly).

Flakes Coat

Tint

Sets the color of the flakes tint in the paint. Since the flakes are embedded inside the base coat, the color of the base coat will influence the flake tint.

Scale

Adjusts the size of the flakes.

Density

Controls the density of the flakes.

Variation

This parameter determines the extent to which flake orientation deviates from the surface normal. A value of 0.0 means minimal deviation, aligning flakes closely with the surface. Higher values intensify the flake effect, making it more pronounced.
