Description:

This pack contains some materials I cooked up after being inspired by certain scenes in the movie "Interstellar".

Most of these materials use the refraction shader with varying IOR settings.

The material setups vary in simplicity, but I've tried to keep things tidy.

Some other examples can be found on the other layers.

Please note that for some of the materials to work properly in your scenes, you may need to increase the "Transmission" passes amount from the render settings panel

Also, when using these materials on lowpoly meshes with limited geometry, you may get dark outlines.

I would greatly recommend using the Node Wrangler addon for examining the node setups!

Feel free to use the materials for anything you wish.

I hope you can find them useful.

Though credits or mentions are not nesessary, I would greatly appreciate them!

    On my first attempt to make a video game in blender I might try and use these so much XD I might be aiming to high for my first try at making one though I'm so glad you made spot on what I needed though, it'll make it so much easier! I'll show you if it turns out decent if you would like

    I have no idea how to use these. When I try to append, nothing happens. Is this because I am use a newer version of blender?
