Hello,
I am trying to create a black silcone rubber material (nothing kinky!), bit like the mobile phone skins are made of. Can anyone help, Im crap with materials..

Thanks
Rich

reference photo?

Yep, a photo will help...what do you mean by silicon? is that translucent? If you want a black rubber material, maybe i can help. I have one not so great but can be a starting point.

Here is my rubber material preview. Are you looking for that?

maybe something like these but in black.. not translucent

If i add some translucency to the rubber, it gave me this:

Wait few second to see the lighting inside each button


I think the result is not too bad, maybe need to add a little bit more reflectivity to get the fat looking of the silicon.

I found this picture, is that what you are looking for?
