Dielectric
SHADER TYPE: Dielectric
Dielectric is a reflectivity type that defines the material as one resembling glass. It is especially suitable for materials with both reflectivity and transparency properties.
| Parameter: | Explanation: | Default value: | Possible values and comments: |
| Ambient Factor | Ambient reflection factor | 0 | |
| Diffuse Factor | Diffuse reflection factor | 0 | |
| Specular Factor | Specular factor | 0.9 | |
| Transmission Factor | Factor of light continuing in the same direction | 0.9 | |
| Mirror Factor | Proportion of light mirrored in the specular direction | 0.9 | |
| Roughness | Proportional roughness factor of the surface | 0.1 | The smaller the factor, the sharper the reflection. High values like 10 make the surface less mirror-like |
| Refraction | Common refraction index for all wavelengths of light | 1.59144 | the default value is for glass |
