Creating Coated Materials | Gloss, Lacquer, Polish, Resin | Learn 3DS Max and V-Ray

Recently I've run into a number of situations where I've needed a coated material. For example, I had polished resin, lacquered brass, etc.

The issue simply becomes you have two different materials on top of each other and these materials have different glossy parameters.

In this tutorial I show how to deal with this, and how to use a V-Ray blend material to create a coated material.
