The method in the paper yields #iridescence that resolves to a plain reflection for thicker films, like in daily life. My nodes suffer from spectral aliasing, which means the colors keep cycling no matter the film thickness.

Now, we can have absorbing films while keeping the look and behavior of thick films. The render shows the nodes on the left and the native behavior on the right. The native behavior more accurately reflects the real-world experience.

#blender3d #thinfilminterference

computer render of a spherical object on a pedestal, seemingly illuminated as if it is in a studio. The object looks like copper, but with colorful banding running across it as if it was heated. The left side of the image shows banding that keeps cycling for an unnatural amount, whereas the right hand side of the image shows that the banding fades towards a homogeneous discoloring of the base color

A fair question is, does it matter? It depends. For some looks you're better off with a dielectric film (it renders faster). But when it does matter, there's no denying the absorption is required for the right look.

Example: copper with a layer of CuO, where the layer doesn't have absorption. Compare with the image in the first post of this thread (repeated here), where realistic absorption is added.

Now I need a real Dev to fix my baby C++ code😅

Computer render of a sphere-like object on a pedestal, having the blender logo carved out of it. The objects seems to be made of a copper-like metal, which has oxidized due to heating or aging. This results in colorful bands that run across the otherwise metallic-looking surface

the DIP from before but now it's an animated walking creature, still with the :3 and wiggly tail, now also squninty eyes. It's walking on a PCB.
