As you seem to be focusing on colours, you might want to take a look at the British Standards colour chart which is a handy starting point for things like UK construction, and I’m fairly convinced for the modelmakers on films like Star Wars.

Thanks for the links. I was familiar with BSC, but Humbrol is new to me.

Aside from Pantone, my color interests are in palettes from the 40s-70s. Probably nostalgia for the world of my childhood. :thinking:

Blender QMM Updated to 1.3.8

QMM Titanium Color Group Texturizer
QMM Titanium Color Group Texturizer1780×2100 200 KB

I wasn’t digging the way Titanium looked.

The stuff I actually see in the real world — like glasses frames and travel cups — is rarely glossy and often has some small grit to the surface, so I changed it to something I like better.

The Roughness is way up, and I added a Texturizer node that uses noise to mess up the color and surface smoothness using Color and Normal inputs and outputs. (For now this only affects Titanium.)

I also created a Titanium Color Group node with 7 color choices I stumbled across on color-name.com.

In the add-on file it replaces the previous version of this material. In the Asset Browser file, the previous version has been renamed to Polished Titanium.

Oh, and I’ve added a new color — Dontnod Copper — to the Copper Color Group node, sourced from ancient specs created by Dontnod Entertainment. It’s very bright and I think it makes really nice “virgin” copper pipes.

Happy Tax Day (USA) everyone, and enjoy!

Feedback welcome, especially if you use it in your work, and even more especially if you tweak these materials and make them better. I’d love to see examples, either here or on Twitter.

Blender QMM 1.3.8 Quick Fix:

Apologies, but the updated Copper Colors group was missing from the latest release.

Everything’s fixed now, so if you grabbed it yesterday, please download it again.

Blender QMM Updated to 1.4.0

This is a cleanup and reorganization release.

qmm-materials-render
qmm-materials-render1080×1080 99.3 KB

The biggest change is to the Plaster material.

The color ramp has been tweaked to make the under-color more prominent, and an RGB node has been added that connects to subsurface radius and subsurface color.

In addition, the add-ons PCOY, MCMC, HG71, and F58 have been updated and will now change the under-color of Plaster material.

Two new Noble metals have been added.

  • Platinum
  • Palladium

Three materials from the Asset Browser file have been included in the add-on.

  • Asphalt
  • Asphalt Bleached
  • Titanium Polished

Four redundant materials have been removed.

  • Copper Max
  • Pale Gold
  • Pale Silver
  • Silver Max

Copper Max and Silver Max had high IOR values, but they didn’t stand out enough to warrant their own material slot.

Pale Gold and Pale Silver can now be set using the Color Group inside the shader node view.

Four materials have been renamed.

  • Brass Metallic > Brass
  • Copper Min > Copper
  • Silver Min > Silver
  • Titanium > Titanium Textured

Blender QMM Updated to 1.4.1

QMM-Wall-Paint

Materials

  • One material from the Asset Browser file has been included in the add-on.
    • Wall Paint

UI

  • Tweaked layout of links in add-on preferences.

Addon Updater

  • Tried to un-f*ck addon updater install of add-on updates. Failed.
    • Moved _init.py_ into root to see if it would install. Didn’t. Moved files back to subfolder.
    • addon updater insists on pulling files from root, no matter what release version I select.
      • Set updater.subfolder_path = "https://github.com/don1138/blender-qmm/tree/main/blender-qmm". Still pulls files from root
      • Set updater.subfolder_path = "tree/main/blender-qmm". Still pulls files from root
  • Any advice on fixing this would be welcomed gratefully.

Blender Materials Updated — Glass Shaders

Glass Shaders

  • Added Glass (Andrew Peel)

Glass Shader - Andrew Peel
Glass Shader - Andrew Peel540×540 143 KB

This is an odd one, and pretty unique among glass shaders I’ve seen. It casts almost no shadow, but the reflections are very strong. Is it good for architectural renderings? Play around and find out.

I found it while sifting through Andrew Peel’s Gihub. Some good stuff in there.

AMEND: iMeshh did a great video and blog post on their process for better glass. Well worth a watch/read.
