Ideas for Cycles Shaders

I had hard time finding the file, can you point me to a specific one?

A complex approach - Iridescence in cycles

i’m also probing from this side… but here is the shader you asked sequins.blend (1.87 MB), and i’ve forgot to post it before… the magenta nodes are previous to my rotation2tangent, just to know. basically i’ve splitted up the UV map in to tiny little pieces, each has a circular gradient as as mask, a radial gradient as a rotation map, and a noise gradient that is rounded ( in osl i’d use floor(), but here i needed to add 0.5) to make a variation in the normals of each sequin. …

it’d be fine to Mix principled shaders, and those primitive BSDFs could go away.

Again, the point of the principled is to have one shader to rule them all! I don’t need (neither I want) that much stuff if i just want 5 glossys together.
