Hi i'm fairly new to all of this stuff and am a little lost when it comes to shaders. I am using Arnold with Aistandard's and theres material presets on Solid Angles website for a dozen different materials like gold and chrome and plastic.
But say for example I want leather or polished carbon steel for a sword, there seems from a google search to be no info on the net for what settings to use to even be close.
