## Thin Film Interference
The Principled BSDF now supports physically accurate thin film interference effects for specular reflection and transmission. (blender/blender!118477)
Initially, this is only applied to dielectric materials, support for metallic thin film effects is planned later. Similarly, the effect is not yet supported by EEVEE.
