Triplanar Reflective Material
Reflective Triplanar Material - creates a Truelight
Reflective Triplanar Material. The Reflective Triplanar
Material is suitable to simulate shiny and glossy
plastic and comparable surfaces. All surfaces finished
with a clearcoat can be perfectly visualized using this
shader.
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.
Reflectivity - sets the clearcoat reflection
intensity.
Triplanar Settings - the triplanar settings
define how the texture will be placed on the
surface and how the planar projection will be
blended at the edges.
Edge Blend - sets the range how far the planar projection will be blended into
each other.
Uniform Repeat - synchronizes the repetition value for all projection axis'.
X Repeat U, X Repeat V, Y Repeat U, Y Repeat V, Z Repeat U, Z Repeat V - sets
the repetition value of the u and v axis for each projection direction.
X Rotate, Y Rotate, Z Rotate - sets the projection orientation.
Color Texture
Use Texture - loads an image texture for the diffuse color channel. The image
will be used as a pattern on the surfaces.
Anisotrophy - sets the texture filter quality for the image texture. 1 is lowest
quality. 16 is highest quality.
Input Gamma - sets the texture image gamma correction.
Specular Texture
Use Texture - loads an image texture for the specular color channel. The image
will be used as a pattern on the surfaces.
Anisotrophy - sets the texture filter quality for the image texture. Value1 is
lowest quality. Value 16 is highest quality.
Input Gamma - sets the texture image gamma correction.
Bump Texture
Use Structure - activates a procedural bump structure.
