Cycles metal shaders: gold

Hi! Here’s my try of making some decent shader for metals (gold in this case). What do you think about?

:slight_smile:



why did you add at 0.5? Should be 1

Yes, you’re right! Thanks

Some improvements


Oh! And at the same time every other channel in each rgb curve should output 0 (flat low curve)
All in all, better use a single rgb curve and adjust each channel. Less nodes around, less computations.

Yes you’re really right!! Thank you!!
