CD Material

Artwork Finished Projects

This was a surprisingly quick project for me; I just decided to see if I could create a material for a CD.

Tell me what you think.

I think it’s quite convincing and clever, but there are a couple of things that bother me a bit:

  • CD surfaces are like mirrors, so maybe the square reflection / shadow should be sharpener, isn’t it?
  • And the other thing is about saturation. Meanwhile the background cloth is extremely saturated the light dispersion on CD surface looks to me a little bit desaturated. They are always with intense colors, aren’t they?
    Otherwise, I see a good potential to the shader you have made.

Thank you for the input. I changed the primary roughness to .01, the secondary roughness to 1, and the anisotropy to .95 which caused some more noise but also more saturated colors. I also slightly increased the amount of gloss on the surface.
