See at same subject in povray.advanced-users.

OK. This is the best I can do presently.

Comming along nicely. 
It still has a bit of 'leathery' quality to it, less metallic. Maybe it's 
the size/width of the scratches that give that impression,

Which is indeed very nice.  :)

Yes, I would say that probably the real test would be something like a
transparent piece of plastic or a dark plastic/glass, where there are in reality
a lot of scratches, but optically, only a few of these are ever really visible
at any given time - depending on the viewing angle.

So, sparser, finer scratches, and perhaps an animation where the object is
rotated a bit to see how a changing incident light angle affects the look.


Still, this has developed to a usable form for a lot of scenes in a very short
time.   Great work!   :)

I think one important feature overlooked so far may be that the 
scratches are presumably rough (in all directions, not only in cross 
section), while the remainder of the surface is rather smooth; so you'd 
either need different finish properties for the scratches (with larger 
highlights), or you'd have to somehow add a bit of noise to the scratches.

Gentlemen, you are perfectly correct regarding these suggestions. We now 
enter the domain of subtlety and craftiness indeed. Let's see what we 
all come up with.

Proof of concept using different finishes for surface and scratches. 
Still in flux...

The scratches are based on the random sticks? If so, try uses extremely 
stretched boxes as sticks to get a sharper 'impression'.

Maybe use a gradient 'depth map' texture on the sticks, the scratichg edge 
rgb 1 and going to rgb 0 to the other edges. Vary the rgb 1 on the sharp 
edge for depth variation. 
 
Render it with orthocam and a light at the camera location.

Hello,

here is my attempt, using a layered texture and an imagefile for the scratches
(similar to what Thomas posted here -

).

        texture {
                pigment {color srgb <0.9284,0.9016,0.8678>}

                        average
                        normal_map {
                                [1      bump_map {png "scratches"}

                                ]
