Yes, it doesn't look like a bug to me.

Just have this idea that can be really helpfull in many cases :

The possiblity to export render settings so that someone can just load it and render a project without typing every single digit by hand.
Would be very usefull ;)

Wanted to ask, could a "Factor" slider be added to the HSV node and the Color Math node when set to Add, Substract and Multiply?
This could used together with the random per Island node to add slight color variations to different objects with the same Material.

Just mix the output with the unmodified input (with a math mix node).

Another good request.
there is an efficient behaviour when moving timeline bar in Blender cycles with the viewport set to rendered. The viewport render only update when user stop moving the bar. It is the same for scene editing the viewport is update just after the user enter parameters so it stay responssive.

I know the cycles voronoi cells texture work great.
Recently, I've been working on the carpaint material of arnold, which has the flakes function, which is similar to the picture you sent. emm... I want to get your shader or blender file to learn how to implement similar functions in luxcore.

Maybe you don't know but you already have it :

just press N in viewport to enable N-Panel and from the panel go to luxcore online library (i assume that engine is set to Luxcore).
From the Luxcoreonlinelibrary select material icon down in category MISC(4) select the purple ball to assign it to anything you have in the 3D view.
As there is a small error (need update , in fact the specular 3 chanel shouldn't be connected to the constant color node) on the shader:

Very nice feature, I did not know you implement an online material library.
I certainly need to check that and if it's possible investigate how can implement it into 3dsmax.

To be precise Neo2068 is the Library Dev. I just provide the assets ;)

I have implemented a Python fallback for custom normal export, which is used if the fast C++ export is not supported for a Blender version.
This means custom normals will now always be supported.
