Rainbow Glass Film Material in 3Ds Max

A quick way of creating the popular oil/rainbow material effect for all your glass objects. This was done using Vray but the same concept will work 100% with any other render engine within 3D Studio Max.

I could totally binge watch all your videos.
Subbed and belled

Very interesting approach! There is also a plugin called Thin Film, which produces similar results ;)

Thanks a lot! 🙏

Would love to see your workflow on using an exterior HDRI and backplate, the free ones from 'Duron Automotive' are pretty amazing! Keep up the great work!

I def plan on it, going to shoot an hdri/backplate set sometime this week and offer it as a free asset for the tutorials.

@@AutomotiveCGI Incredible! looking forward to seeing that, thanks again for time and effort spent on these

How did you bring back the old V-Ray material preview?

[@AutomotiveCGI]

Go to Render Settings, Settings, and check "Native 3ds max material swatches"

ouuu can make a polarized effect on the headlights!!!

[@AutomotiveCGI]

Happen to have a link to a reference of what it looks like?

[@Benspective]

@@AutomotiveCGI similar to the window rainbow effect your showing in the video. instagram.com/p/B7ZBfQfFfSL/?. It’s a common effect when using a polarizer lens filter on a camera.

@@Benspective Ohh yeah this is 100% same way I do my headlights, usually use same material haha.
