Metallic Paint Material
Metallic Paint Material - creates a Truelight Metallic
Paint Material. The Metallic Paint Material offers a
shading model suited for metallic painted surfaces like
metallic carpaint.
Base Color - sets the diffuse reflection color of
the Metallic Paint Material. This is the color the
shader will adopt, when the surfaces is globally
light.
Flake Settings - the flake settings
defines the metallic flakes behavior,
which are embedded in metallic paints.
The metallic flakes have strong specular
light reflection and are layered on top of
the base shading color.
Flake color - Sets the metallic shiny
flakes` base color.
Roughness - the Roughness parameter
defines the amount of diffuse reflection
and, its complement specular reflection.
The higher the roughness value, the
more diffuse reflections will be
rendered.
Flake Size - sets the flake size.
Flake Intensity - sets the flakes contrast value of each flakes` normal
direction.
Clearcoat Settings - sets the clearcoat color. The clearcoat is a transparent, strongly
reflective paint layer on the base paint layer.
Clearcoat Color - sets the clearcoat color.
Reflectivity - sets the clearcoat reflective intensity.
Orange Peel - activates a noisy bump structure in the shader.
Orange Peel Frequency - sets the bump structure`s noise frequency.
Orange Peel Intensity - sets the bump structure`s intensity.
Noise Quality - sets the noise quality.
Low - sets the noise quality to low. Low quality uses less memory.
High - sets the noise quality to high. This allows even on extreme
close ups sharp and detailed noise structures.
Incandescence Settings - the incandescence defines the shader`s self-illumination behavior.
Incandescence Color - sets the self-illumination color.
Incandescence Intensity - sets the self-illumination intensity.
Use Texture - loads an image texture, which defines the self-illumination area and intensity.
Repeat mode - sets the repeat mode of the texture. There are four modes, which can be set.
Repeat - the texture will be repeated in all directions.
