NK Values for Metal Material

Open thebuza opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

NK Values are really a necessity in LuxCore. Few users asked about that here and on Discord and it would be great to see it in Lux soon. For example, Octane uses NK values so creating any metal material is extremely easy. Just grab the values from refractiveindex.info and copy them into proper inputs and it works. Here's a video on how it works: https://youtu.be/Wt8SC655Pz8?t=70

PS. I can't find any Sopra files with those values, tried creating file just by copying csv values from refractiveindex.info but without any success in Lux.

It is actually possible to set NK values for the metal2 material: https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/LuxCore_SDL_Reference_Manual_v2.5#Type:_metal2 However, these properties are marked as deprecated, so they are not exposed in the Blender addon.
