Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A reference library for 3D artists, with shader values for Arnold, Karma and RenderMan, plus material aging conditions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-22 issue.

For: Look-dev, surfacing, and rendering artists
Worth noticing: Values receive A–E evidence grades; IOR and extinction references use 589.3 nm, while roughness is explicitly marked as an estimate.

Field notes

The interface describes engine-specific parameter names and routing, alongside Reading Mode for manual entry and click-to-copy values for Maya, Houdini, Mari, or Katana. Its calibration notes distinguish evidence grades from estimates: roughness depends on the real surface, while IOR and extinction use a stated reference wavelength. The site also invites feedback while describing the product as still being built.
