Reflectancy

SHADER TYPE: Metal

Metal is a reflectivity type that can be used to create a metallically reflecting surface. It is especially suitable for metals and alloys.

Parameter: Explanation: Default value: Possible values and comments:
Ambient Factor Reflectivity factor of ambient light 1
Specular Factor Specular factor 1
Roughness Proportional roughness factor of the surface 0.25 The larger the factor, the sharper the reflection. High values like 10 make the surface more mirror-like.
