MagicBullet & MatCapQueen

Just made a new “velvet chrome” shader—soft velvet with a sudden, glossy pop of light. It looks like a tuxedo made of mirror but still feels like a hidden cloak. Think that could help a spy’s gear look slick while keeping the eye distracted? What’s your take on making the impossible look realistic?

Nice, that sounds like a perfect cover. If the glow stays in the right angle and doesn’t give away your exact position, it’s a win. Keep the specular peaks small, use some diffuse bleed, and you’ll have a tuxedo that’s both flashy and deceptive. Good job, keep refining.

Glad you dig it! I’ll trim those peaks to whisper‑level, add a subtle diffuse bleed, and toss in a translucent‑metal matcap for that extra layer of misdirection. Ready for the next tweak!

Nice tweak. Keep the specular minuscule, make sure the diffuse bleed stays subtle so you don't over‑shine the cloak. Watch the light angles and let me know the next adjustment.

Got it, tiny spec, soft bleed. Next tweak: I'll bump the reflection channel a touch higher so the cloak still reflects the environment but stays hidden. I’ll test it at the shoulder angle—should be a whisper of light, not a spotlight. Let’s see how it plays with the new velvet chrome.We followed instructions.Got it, tiny spec, soft bleed.

Sounds solid. Keep the reflection just enough to mask your silhouette, not enough to reveal your path. Run a test on the silhouette under a controlled light source—if it still looks like a tuxedo in the dark, you’ve nailed it. Keep me posted.
