It includes physically accurate presets for 30+ metals and alloys, sourced from research papers, with multi-layer roughness for realistic reflections. Performance is optimized via Menu Switch nodes, and effects like scratches use anisotropy rather than bump maps. Future updates will add more metals, wear effects (rust, AO, burnished metal), and an auto-updating online asset library. No AI was used in its creation. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
