The Clearcoat function of Cycles in Blender 3.6 has received some important updates and improvements for the Blender 4.0. That's what we discuss in this video.

I discuss energy conservation briefly as a new feature associated with Coat, for a full demonstration of this watch this video:    • The Furnace Test, does Blender 4.0 pass?  

Watch all of my videos about awesome improvements to rendering and materials in 4.0.    • Blender 4.0 Feature Videos
