Octane Material Layers
The Layered material system lets you construct complex materials that consist of a base layer and multiple material layers. The layers are based on components used in previous Octane materials.
Using this set of unique layers, Octane now lets you recreate complex materials in a physically-based manner, as opposed to manually mixing materials together.
The following Material Layer nodes are available:
Diffuse Layer - Used for dull, non-reflective materials.
Material Layer Group - Adds multiple Material Layers to existing materials.
Metallic Layer - Used for highly reflective materials.
Sheen Layer - Simulates the grazing coloration in fabrics.
Specular Layer - Used for shiny materials like plastic, or clear materials like glass.
Material layers can connect to the Layered Material, Layer Group, or Material Layer pins on standard materials.
