Few "natural" metals exhibit significant diffuse reflection, as that requires subsurface penetration or a very rough surface, and it simply doesn't happen with polished metal.

Nevertheless, for purposes of fantasy materials, you can mix diffuse and specular reflections. Some examples in green here.


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)
