I am making a glossy book cover and would like to reproduce this effect in Blender:

Any suggestions on making the material with this sort of bumpiness?

I've tried doing something similar to suggestion at following link but I wasn't able to come to close to this effect: How do I create a bumpy reflective material?

Here is what I've attempted so far, it's not quite there:

Thanks.

You're very close - I suggest swapping the Voronoi Texture with a Noise Texture, lowering the influence by mixing it with white before the Bump Node. I also changed the BaseColor to almost black (looks like it's black in the example image). Roughness looks good at around .1:

  • This helps, thanks! I did have to use 0.1 for the Noise Texture Scale otherwise it looked very grainy at 14. Does that sound right? – kielby Sep 09 '22 at 11:53
  • The scale is relative to the size of your object - pick whatever scale looks best for you, even if it's different from mine. The idea is just to use a Noise texture as a basis for bump (Instead of Voronoi). – Christopher Bennett Sep 09 '22 at 11:55
  • Makes sense, sorry I'm new to Blender just hacking something together. Thanks again! – kielby Sep 09 '22 at 12:19
