Plastic Material
Plastic Material - creates a Truelight Plastic Material.
The Plastic Material is suitable to simulate diffuse
plastic or leather surfaces.
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 surface reflection
intensity.
Color Texture
Use Texture - loads an image texture for the diffuse color channel. The image
will be used as a pattern on the surfaces. Read MaterialEditor -> Textures
for texture placement.
Use Alpha Channel - uses the alpha channel of the image texture if it has an
alpha channel embedded.
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
will be repeated.
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. Read MaterialEditor -> Textures
for texture placement.
Repeat mode - sets the repeat mode of the texture. There are four modes,
which can be set.
