HOW CAN I CREATE A CAR PAINT MATERIAL IN BLENDER?
Tom Snow, Cleveland
Before defining the roughness of the paint, I changed the parameters of the nodes many times in order to achieve the best result in the final composition

I will show you a really simple and powerful way to create a car paint material in Blender, using few nodes and without textures or other external elements. The key element that helps us to achieve realism is always the study of real-world materials. So when I start a new project, I create the model and then I create all the different material, studying all the properties that they have in the real world (roughness, transparency, reflectivity, glossiness etc) in order to recreate it in the 3D space.
