Properties of Colors and MaterialsThe advanced color and material properties you can assign are the following. Diffusiveness: The color of light diffusely reflected by the material. Diffuse reflection is typical of irregular surfaces such as layers of cement or sheets of paper. When a beam of light strikes a surface of this type, the rays are reflected in the most diverse directions. On average, they are reflected in all directions. In reality, diffusiveness is a function of the wavelength of the incident light relative to the the size of the bumps and hollows of the surface, but it is usually considered to be a constant. Specular reflection: The color of the light reflected specularly. Specular reflection is the light in a narrow cone-shaped beam where the angle of the incoming beam equals the angle of the reflected beam of light. Transparency: The amount of light that goes through the material as a ratio of the incident light. Reflection: The amount of light reflected specularly. |
