Slope bump with Detail 0

[virtualrepublic]

Overall the importer is impressive. If you take a close look at the slope bump texture it's better to set the roughness to 0.

I analyzed LEGO materials in the past and figured out this with MODO compared to the photo on the left:

Stefan has nailed it. He also developed a Houdini importer.

Are you suggesting to set detail to 0 and roughness to 0.3? I'll try and look into making a new patch release later.

It's definitely one of the better attempts I've seen. Parts 1-3 were the inspiration for the current implementation. I've been busy with other projects and haven't had much motivation to fine tune the materials more. If you have any other specific tweaks, I'd be happy to look into making changes for a future release.

Detail 0. Roughness was 0.5. I will check out the materials and talk also to Stefan if he has some actual advice. Actually it's a great start. Will also looks into Mecabricks materials again. The Mecabricks rendering workflow is based on research I did in 2014. This was my very first LDraw result rendered with MODO I posted on EUROBRICKS.
