Pearloid

alt text

Pearloid is a type of synthetic material (celluloid plastic) designed to mimic the appearance of mother of pearl. It’s often used in making musical instruments and decorative items, to give a lustrous iridescent finish.

Inputs

Base

Color

Specifies the base color.

Roughness

Controls the roughness of the base layer.

Transmission Weight

Controls the Transmission Weight of the base layer.

IOR

Controls the Index of Refraction of the base layer.

Flakes

Weight

This multiplier scales the reflection intensity received by the celluloid flakes.

Density

Controls the density of the celluloid flakes.

Tint

Sets the color of the flakes tint in the paint.

Scale

Adjusts the size of the flakes.

Randomness

The randomness of the flake shape.

Grain Scale

Roughness

Specifies the roughness of the flakes.

Absorption

Specifies the degree of light absorbed by the pigment before it is reflected off the flakes.

Seed

Flake Depth

Intensity

Controls the intensity of the depth seperation between flakes. At 0.0, all flakes have the same depth. At 1.0, flakes will have a large difference in depth.

Threshold

Controls the depth at which flakes start to appear.

Flake Normal

Distance

Multiplier for the height value to control the overall distance.

Roughness

Controls the normal map roughness.

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.
