Glass Material
Glass Material - creates a Truelight Glass Material.
The Glass Material simulates glass surface behaviors.
Exterieur Transparency - 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. The brighter the diffuse reflection
color is, the more transparent the material
becomes.
Interieur Transparency - 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 and the surface normals` direction is
pointing away from camera. The brighter the
diffuse reflection color is, the more transparent
the material becomes. Only supported in
OpenGL rendering mode.
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.
Reflectivity - Sets the material´s reflectivity intensity.
Refraction Index - sets the material´s refraction index. Only supported in Raytracing
rendering mode.
Frosted Glass - simulates frozen glass and iced structures.
Use Frosted Glass - activates frosted Glass.
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.
Bump Texture
Use Structure - activates a procedural bump structure.
Use Texture - loads an image texture for the bump channel. The image will be
used as a pattern on the surfaces. Read MaterialEditor -> Textures for
texture placement.
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.
Repeat Mirror - the texture will be repeated and mirrored in x- and y-axis on
every repetition.
Decal - the texture will not be repeated.
Clamp - not the whole texture will be repeated. Only the last pixel of the texture
