Patience, patience. :)
I have layered materials coming for every conceivable everyday material. I have smooth metal, brushed metal, hammered metal, rusting metal, pitted metal, plastic, various types of paint, stucco, plaster, ceramic, clear glass, frosted glass, stained glass, marble, granite, natural wood, stained wood, painted wood, weathered wood, many kinds of cloth, water, milk, soda, beer, rubber, jelly, blood, blah blah - a huge collection of materials all using the techniques of layered effects for maximum realism.
The tricky part on a lot of the patterend ones is how to deal with scaling and various coordinate systems. I'm working out how to generate these on demand, using building blocks, so you can just order what you want from my application and it will design the material for you using the principles I've assembled over the last couple years.
I am pondering how to package all this, and how I want to distribute and with whom if anybody, i.e. CP, Rendo, RDNA, Daz - or go solo. Having some conversations around that right now.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
