Btw, not sure if this was proposed and rejected before, but since the shading workflow has already been tested and proved to robust and unlikely to suffer radical modifications. i think would be nice to include some node groups by default in the startup .blend. There are many group setups very useful that they even act as completely new features.<div>
It comes to my mind some useful setups:</div><div><br></div><div>- Plastics</div><div>- Advanced glass, reflection control, absorption </div>- Car paint with flakes<br>- Wire frame Shader<br><div>- Metals with fresnel, </div>
<div><div>- Glass dispersion</div><div>- Glass with transparent shadow (architectural glass from Lux terminology)</div><div>- And many others very useful, some of them made out of procedural textures like water surfaces, metal galvanized/rusted, wood (i have seen a tremendous good one entirely procedural), all those with nice custom controls etc.</div>

amount of gloss shader just leaving the refraction, so we can do our own<br>
gloss on it<br>
