Set the Noise Texture node's Scale value to
50.000
. Add a Math node (press
Shift
+
A
and navigate to Converter | Math). Connect the Noise Texture node's Fac output
to the first Value input of the Math node. Set the Math node's Operation to Multiply
and second Value to
0.050
. Connect its Value output to the Displacement input
socket of the Material Output node, as shown in the following screenshot:

How it works...
This is one of the simplest materials you can build in Cycles. It consists of a colored Diffuse
BSDF component mixed at 50 percent with a white Glossy BSDF shader and another low Glossy
BSDF shader to make the specular effect more diffused. A tiny Noise Texture node, connected
directly to the Displacement input of the Material Output node, adds a slightly dotted bump
effect to the whole material, as if it is some kind of industrial plastic used for toys.
