land lizard... a decal over one of the new math generated materials i.e, gives the cracks

water lizard... a material with high transparency

they use the same texture which I upscaled (2048X2048) in Photoshop

Thanks for the reply, but I didn't mean that I want to create a chameleon like an animal) I'd like to create a material like this. So when you rotate a light or camera the different color reflections appears. Look at this car as an example.

that is a metal effect

imo the colour has nothing to do with light or camera rotation because its internal... you can adjust the map as much as you like but Dimension (at this stage) only takes a still image

different colour map


I like the way you arrenged the different colors in a diffuse texture map. How did you do that? It looks nice. Could you show the map?
