More 4d fun.
Neato!
Nice.
8) Nice shading.
Beautiful and very interesting!
Liquid Gold! 8)
Very nice
Very cool Bobby Like...
I like also..........add some cobalt blue in with the gold. ;D
That could be some close in detail of a Klimt painting. 8)

always add cobalt blue...heh heh heh

Indeed, good observation
Certainly reminiscent of BladePro and other plugin paint filters! Nice reflection and glow.
This looks awesome, I wish I could work out how you did this!
:)
Beautiful and original!

Thanks for all the comments.
This is a view of the surface of a Terragen sphere where the sphere's default shader displacement function is driven by a combination of 3d and 4d Perlin noise. Then that resulting shape has additional small complexity added with a warp input driven by power fractal.
The Perlin noise drives the roughness function and the translucency function. The scalar complement* of the noise drives the reflectivity function. For the metallic characteristics the refractive index is set to 9.0. The gold color comes from the yellow orange color set in reflection tint and the diffuse color of the sphere is actually the blue green which only shows through in a few places. There is no separate reflective shader as I'm not using raytraced reflection.
*I should have explained that I set the amount of displacement to a negative multiplier for the sphere so black is raised and white is lowered. The complement is used on the reflectivity so the blackest (raised) parts will be most reflective. For the roughness the black low values are wanted just as they are so the blackest (raised) areas are the smoothest.

Very good, and it renders faster that way...thanks for the walk thru...

wow, thanks... I'll check that out very soon!

Thanks for the outline of your method, I've used the idea of feeding the output of one noise into the input for another before so the part that interested me was your technique for mixing in the smooth highlights.
After some experimentation I got this eroded copper effect. No negative displacement, Colour Adjusts to control reflectivity and roughness with the fine detail being generated by adding a low intensity Power Fractal the the first noise output so I'm guessing that my nodes are somewhat different from yours. I'm trying to apply it to an imported object but fine tuning the scaling is prooving more troublesome than expected.

I can just imaging, from the range of PFs I see in your stunning copper.
