'Under the Hood' of the most Advanced Car Paint Designer Plugin ever! C4D + Octane

I developed this Car Paint Designer Plugin out of the desire to have a quick and easy way of doing rapid changes to the traditional "car paint shaders", of which you had to go node-spelunking, and have knowledge of complex node functions in order to get desired results... I wanted to make a tool that anyone could use to create the exact characteristics of car paint they wanted... so I did!

Over the course of 18 months, dozens of release iterations, and thousands of hours of rigorous testing, this is the result!
Packed with first of their kind features, including
• Procedural Metallic Flakes,
• Procedural Neon Generation,
• Procedural Stripes (no UV'ing required),
• Easy PBR Texture uploading,
• Raindrop Map Support and toolset,
and so much more!

There's complex technical features built in such as...
• Hibernation mode to reduce material-xpresso talk back and improve responsiveness,
• Dynamically changing UI elements when specific settings change,
• UI settings that toggle visibility to keep the experience clean and organized,
as well as built in security features, such as...
• Secret Password Protection to toggle the visibility of the xpresso tags to avoid tampering, and redistribution.
