Demo summary

A demonstration of layering MatCap and Rainbow effects with the Overlay blend mode to create a highly reflective metallic surface.

Step-by-step

  1. Select the object and change the base color to 999 DAD
  2. Add a MatCap layer to the material
  3. Set the MatCap blend mode to Overlay
  4. Add a Rainbow material layer and position it under the lighting layer
  5. Lower the Rainbow frequency to 7 or 8
  6. Change the Rainbow blending mode to Overlay
  7. Save the material as 'metal' and apply it to other components

Tips

  • Place the rainbow layer under the lighting layer to ensure it factors in the colors and layers beneath it

Highlights

Just by doing that, look at how metallic-looking chrome-looking and reflective that material is. That's very nice.
