Diffuse |
text field, slider |
How much of the diffuse input appears on the shaded surface. |
|
From 0 to 1; defaults to 1. |
Specular |
text field, slider |
How much of the specular light appears on the shaded surface. |
|
From 0 to 1; defaults to 1. |
Glossiness |
text field, slider |
How glossy the highlights appear on the shaded surface. The closer to 1 this is set, the more mirror-like the shaded surface appears. |
|
From 0 to 1; defaults to .200. |
Ambient |
text field, slider |
How much ambient occlusion occurs on the shaded surface. |
|
From 0 to 2; defaults to 1. |
Reflectance |
text field, slider |
How much of the reflection appears on the shaded surface. The closer to 1 this is set, the higher the reflectiveness. |
|
From 0 to 1; defaults to .200. |
Emissive |
text field, slider |
How much glow the emissive channel appears to have. |
|
From 0 to 100; defaults to 1.000. |

text field, slider |
How much the white or black values are pushed or pulled from the surface. |
|
From 0 to 1; defaults to 0.500. |
Displacement | Displacement Scale |
text field, slider |
How much displacement is applied to the shaded surface. Lower values equal smaller displacement; higher values equal larger and more obvious |
|
From 0 to 1; defaults to 0.500. |
Displacement | Displacement Range |

Bump | Bump Weight |
text field, slider |

Bump| Bump Mode |
dropdown |

|
While Fastest is very fast, it works better with live procedural layers rather than painted or cached layers. |
Bump |Bump Space |

UV - Normals are calculated relative to the UV coordinates space. World - Normals are calculated relative to the World coordinates space. |
|
By default, Bump Space is set to UV. |
