The 3Delight Material is a general purpose material that can be used to render a large variety of surface. One of its interesting features is that is well suited to simulated surfaces that have a coating. Coated materials include commong real-world objects such as furniture, cars, toys and many plastics. The presence of a coating layer adds interesting effects on gazing angles and adds an additional specular highlight that can be observed on most coated materials (it is especially noticeable on car paint and many "old school" shaders simulate this effect by having a secondary highlight control).
Coating | |
