Back
I was using a mixer node too - I just think of color 1 as a layer on top of the
base color. Actually, I can't reproduce that one. However if I plug an image or
procedural texture directly into the bump channel of a Phong shader, the
normals look like they take a hike - the specular is wrong. It will only render
a proper specular when I plug the texture node into ambient/diffuse channels,
which is sort of limiting.
I hope they don't forget revamping bumpmaps for V5.0.

When I tried it I wasn't using layers, I just used the mix node.
. I put one Phong into each of the mix2nodes inputs. What was interesting was
that the reflection remained flat where the illumination of the surface was
bumped. So I took out the mixer and just plugged a Phong into the surface with
a bump image in the Phong's bump. Again, the reflection didn't bump but the
illumination did. As far as I can tell right now, if you bump a phong then it's
reflection won't bump. Surely this can't be right?

Edit:
Kim you were right - only the order of layering is important! I started
with the sublayer with bump as base color and added a reflective coating as
color 1 - that makes the reflective coating bumpy too. If I swap the two and
add the bumpy Phong to a reflective surface, the reflection is unaltered by the
bump, which is what I want. A bit backwards though, but it works :)

2 phongs into a mix2colours node -> surface?

There's a shader called XSI-clear-coat on XSI base. Sounds like it
might do the job for you.

Hi List,
I am shading an object which has a bumpy glossy reflective surface
and a smooth layer of transparent laquer covering it, effectively rendering the
surface smooth and reflective.
I can't seem to create this combination in one pass on the same
surface, so I wonder if anyone can offer a trick or workaround to make it work?
TIA!
