🌟 Product Overview

This product contains a Blender procedural material for rendering a sparkling, flaked, crystalized sugar material that looks absolutely sweet and delicious when applied to a Blender cube 🥹

The shader nodes consist of procedural logic that generates a number of aesthetic characteristics — including (but not limited to):

• Multiple layers of shaders to style the sugar cube base, sugar crystals, and a sparkling-flake coating.
• Controls for base colors, flake sizes, subsurface scattering, roughness, bump strength, and more.
• Support for using custom object properties to configure attributes.
  

Furthermore, as a benefit of Blender’s shader node architecture, the material is seamless to configure, customize, duplicate, and extend according to your needs 💪

✨ Key Features

• ⚙️ Extensively customizable controls for the material’s aesthetic characteristics.
• 🎨 Optimized for Blender 4.x to leverage the features of the new Principled BSDF shader.
• ✨Clean, well-architected node trees — crafted with care for logical coherence and extensibility.

• • 🎭 A starter set of demo objects showcasing various ways to use the material.

📦 Contents
