I spoke at #BCon22 last year, introducing a way to #render #interference (aka #iridescence ) with #Blender3D and #cycles

Interference can occur when light passes thin layers, and it can radically change the color of the reflection. Possibly the best example is a soap bubble, but also heating of iron and aging of copper is described well by interference (see examples).

I made node groups with example materials available for #Blender, free to use for any purpose. See:

Cycles PBR thin film interference, iridescence and metals

[January 2025 Update / Blender 4.3+:] As these node groups / OSL scripts thankfully are becoming less relevant now with the partial support of thin film interference in Blender 4.3, I changed the three thin film materials that benefit of it to use this feature of the Principled shader.

The great person and friend that was with me at #Bcon22 is here as well - pls give a watch to
