This surface works best when objects and/or polygons are connecting. The gritnode nodal-plugin works that way and thats where the "rust" is going to be based. That is why in the preview-image here we have put the ball inside the cube.

A rusty metal surface (using nodes) for LW9.x - This surface requires a free plugin (ee_GritNode) to work - Click here to download it.

This sheet shows common Refraction Indexes for common materials and substances.

We already had this on the previous version of The Benelux Lightwave Resource website and it might come in handy.

The Indexes are also downloadable as a PDF.
