Brilliant, though the metalness maps seem more like low-threshold specular maps (you can see metallic spot readings on the strictly dielectric material [bakelite?] on that handle).†
The way to correctly detect metalness would also involve checking for coloration of the reflected light (which is not present with specular dielectric materials [but may be confused with subsurface scatter coloration]).
Update: † Looks like he knows this, and just hasn't gotten around to implementing it yet.
- Finnucane 9y agoYeah, it would seem if you're simply looking for the difference between images with and without polarized filtering, you'd pick up all manner of smooth reflective surfaces--water, glass, plastic, etc.
