== Stream Summary ==
The [https://autodesk.github.io/standard-surface/#closures/metal Standard Surface] model implemented in Karma and MaterialX has a thin film model for metallic reflections, which can create these rainbow-like iridescence effects.


I wanted to try out the thin film model and initially test it on a shaderball to get a sense of how the settings and parameters work.
Below are some of my results while testing and iterating on simulation settings.


After experimenting with the shader, I procedurally model a simple maze-like geometric form using the path finding node in Houdini.  This form is then instanced to a point cloud to create the repetitive fractal-like form, similar to Bismuth crystals.

The [https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/sop/findshortestpath.html Find Shortest Path node] can be used not only for finding the shortest path between two points, but can be used to create complex, interesting path networks.

Introduction

This was my attempt trying to recreate the foam techniques from the amazing PROTECT project from XK Studio.
