Add a glittery or sparkly effect to skin texture?

    thanks. I wanted it to be subtle. I may crank it up just a tiny bit though for more distant renders. closeups it works fine. the aliens are described as slightly shorter than average humans, a little paler, and with a slight shimmer to their skin.

    I'm probably not done with how I want it, I'll continue to tinker with it and keep posting results in this thread. thanks all for the help and I hope my solution can help anyone else in the future who's trying to do something similar.

    I thought glittering and sparkling skin was universally banned after Twilight...

    This thread has been very educational though. Have to love the helpful community here. smiley

    Just for future reference, in Iray a glitter shader can be applied to the top coat layer, and no mucking about with geometry shells.

    There are several ways to go about it.  A spec color or str map (whichever slot is still empty-- Sickleyield has a set on either Rendo freebies or Sharecg, can't remember which, but you may want to edit the colors), or a procedural shadermixer with granite plugged into a second specular-- the latter will not give you as good as results as the former.

     

    Whatever the case, you need to use a shader with two specular nodes (e.g. UbS)

    Our Geo Shell was not taking shaders, it just didn't change at all.
