Please has anyone ever reproduced the polycarbonate like the one in the picture? How did you set up the material?

You will want to create a glass material and add the imperfection or "vertical pattern" into the bump slot.

You can using this - made in Substance

Hi, thanks Jtubb.
I used your method but I also slightly changed other parameters of the material, which in my case is also printed.
The result is this.
I hope a similar material will be developed, because I am not 100% satisfied with the result, especially with the refraction of the grooves.

massimo_risca, take a look at the mock up i did. So I think I understand what you are trying to create.

Dot pattern on the front of the glass which is smooth and the ribbed distortion on the back of the glass. So what I did is made to planes and added the dot pattern on the front panel of glass and added the ribbed pattern to the second plane of glass.

Let me know if this helps.
