Shellac Material

Material Editor > Type button > Material/Map Browser > Shellac

Top: Base material

Middle: Shellac material

Bottom: Materials combined with a shellac color blend value of 50%

Shellac material mixes two materials by superimposing one over the other. Colors in the superimposed material, called the "shellac" material, are added to colors in the base material. A Shellac Color Blend parameter controls the amount of color mixing.

Interface

Base Material—Goes to the level of the base sub-material. By default, the base material is a Standard material with Blinn shading.

Shellac Material—Goes to the level of the shellac material. By default, the shellac material is a Standard material with Blinn shading.

Shellac Color Blend—Controls the amount of color mixing. At 0.0, the shellac material has no effect. Increasing the Shellac Color Blend value increases the amount of shellac material color blended into the base material color. There is no upper limit on this parameter. Large values "overload" the shellac material colors. Default=0.0.

You can animate this parameter.
