Re: Paint like Reventon…

Too me it just looks like it would have some blurry reflections. Personally I make all of my car paint materials with multiple reflection layers. In this case I would still do that, but just have two different stages of glossiness on them. As always, what you’re environment is will be very important

Re: Paint like Reventon…

definitely HDR…unless you’ve got a bunch of objects hanging around your scene.

As far as the reflection layers, I typically keep the base reflection fairly consistent and the top one with more fresnel

Re: Paint like Reventon…

Looks like:

\* fresnel reflection layer with blur approx. 0.9 (exotic for a car paint clear finish)  
\* reflection without fresnel and strong blur like 0.7 and use filter color for paint color  
\* often I add a diffuse layer, so that the metall layer isn’t so strong: set metal refl layer at transp color 125 and set diffuse color like filter color
