Conductor
SHADER TYPE: Conductor
Conductor is a reflectivity type that defines a surface’s reflectivity features to also use secondary reflections. It is especially suitable for metal surfaces. The default values of the refraction and absorption factors are for silver.
| Parameter: | Explanation: | Default value: | Possible values: |
| Ambient Factor | Reflectivity factor of ambient light | 0.1 | |
| Diffuse Factor | Reflectivity factor of diffuse light | 0.1 | |
| Specular Factor | Reflectivity factor of specular light | 0.8 | |
| Mirror Factor | Proportion of light mirrored in the specular direction | 0.8 | |
| Roughness | Proportional roughness factor of the surface | 0.1 | The larger the factor, the sharper the reflection. High values like 10 make the surface more mirror-like |
| Refraction Red | Refraction factor of red light | 0.13764 | The default value is for silver |
| Refraction Green | Refraction factor of green light | 0.128079 | The default value is for silver |
| Refraction Blue | Refraction factor of blue light | 0.156556 | The default value is for silver |
| Absorption Red | Absorption factor of red light | 3.75633 | The default value is for silver |
| Absorption Green | Absorption factor of green light | 4.37743 | The default value is for silver |
| Absorption Blue | Absorption factor of blue light | 2.3437 | The default value is for silver |
