EXPERT TIP
FINE-TUNING YOUR MAPS Maps such as Bump and Voronoi are great for creating parametric driven inputs in your shaders. These can be fine-tuned by inserting nodes in between that adjust their strength and colour. One of the best nodes for this is the RGB Cur ves node.

Car paint shaders can be a lit tle more complex than your average shaders. This is in large par t due to the fac t that car paints are made up of multiple dif ferent layers.
