Temper of colors (smart material)

Depending on the temperature at which the steel is held during hardening, the metal actually changes its color.

Each temperature level corresponds to its color.

In the life of 3D artist there are a million cases when it is necessary to recreate this effect

It can be the creation of hardened steel material, weapon elements that often overheat, or other coverings that need similar effect

In order to create such an effect in just seconds, I created a very convenient smart material for Adobe Substance 3D painter. Which takes into account the physical characteristics of heating.

It works with both metal/rough and spec/gloss PBR shaders.
