Real world materials have many properties that influence how they respond to light and how they look. Some of these properties are unique to certain material types while other properties are universally found in all materials. One of these properties is fresnel. The property of fresnel is where a surface becomes more reflective when viewed … Read more
Creating material is more complicated than it sounds, as there are a lot of attributes that make a material both look and feel in the real world. Some attributes are exclusive to certain types of materials, like sheen for instance, but there are some that apply to every material like the index of refraction, roughness, … Read more
Materials have a variety of properties to influence how the material is going to respond when hit by a source of light. These properties can include diffusing, refraction, and subsurface scattering depending on the material. A common question is finding the specific IOR value with a material like glass. The index of refraction for glass … Read more
