Metallic Coating

Technical Details

Render Engines Compatibility: Eevee, Cycles
Requires Displacement: No
Requires UVs: No
Processing/Complexity: 1/3
Can be baked: Yes (How to bake materials)

!Layer Weight property can’t be baked, since it is a dynamic effect that renders the material darker when looking from a steep angle
If you want to replicate the same exact effect after baking, you can use the following setup:

*The material texture is quite small, when you bake it, you will need a high resolution in order to keep the detail.
also remember that the coating will need to be added in the principled BSDF once baked
