Tire Material
Tire Material - creates a Truelight Tire Material. The
Tire Material is especially designed to quickly texture
tires and give them a rubber shading.
Diffuse Color - sets the shader´s diffuse
reflection color. This is the color the shader will
adopt, when the light reflection of the surface
is spread to a brought range of directions.
Specular Color - sets the shader´s color for
specular reflection.
Specular reflection behavior is described by the
law of reflection which states that the direction
of incoming light (the incident ray), and the
direction of outgoing light reflected (the
reflected ray) make the same angle with
respect to the surface normal, thus the angle of
incidence equals the angle of reflection.
Roughness - the Roughness parameter defines
the amount of diffuse reflection and, its
complement specular reflection. The higher the
roughness value, the more diffuse reflection
will be rendered.
Reflectivity - Sets the material´s reflectivity
intensity.
Color Texture
Use Marking - loads an image texture which will be applied to the tire`s sides
for the diffuse color channel. The image will be used as a pattern on the
surface`s sides.
Use Profile - loads an image texture which will be applied as the tire´s profile
for the diffuse color channel. The image will be used as a pattern on the surface
´s middle.
Use Alpha Channel - uses the alpha channel of the image texture if it has an
alpha channel embedded.
Input Gamma - sets the texture image gamma correction.
Specular Texture
Use Marking - loads an image texture which will be applied to the tire´s sides
for the specular channel. The image will be used as a specular pattern on the
surface´s sides.
Use Profile - loads an image texture which will be applied as the tire`s profile
for the specular channel. The image will be used as a pattern on the surface´s
middle.
Input Gamma - sets the texture image gamma correction.
Bump Texture
Use Marking - loads an image texture which will be applied to the tire´s sides
for the bump channel. The image will be used as a bump pattern on the surface
´s sides.
Use Profile - loads an image texture which will be applied as the tire´s profile
