Methods

Method Description

SphericalHarmonicMaterial Initializes a new instance of the SphericalHarmonicMaterial structure.

Properties

Property Description

Absorption Retrieves or sets the absorption coefficient used to model light propagation in a participating medium.

AbsorptionColor Retrieves or sets the absorption coefficient used to model light propagation in a participating medium.

Diffuse Retrieves or sets the diffuse albedo of the surface.

DiffuseColor Retrieves or sets the diffuse albedo of the surface.

IsMirror Determines whether the material is a mirror.

IsSubsurfaceScattering Enables or disables subsurface scattering.

ReducedScattering Retrieves or sets the reduced scattering coefficient used to model light propagation in a participating medium.

ReducedScatteringColor Retrieves or sets the reduced scattering coefficient used to model light propagation in a participating medium.

RelativeIndexOfRefraction Retrieves or sets the relative index of refraction as the ratio between two absolute indices of refraction.
