Description Property
Translucency and Index of Refraction are not available. See Transparency and Trans-
lucency on page 485.
Measurement of how much of the Transparency light is scattered by the material, so
that objects behind the material cannot be seen clearly. Enter a value between 0 (not Translucency
translucent) and 1 (completely translucent, such as frosted glass). See Transparency
and Translucency on page 485.
Measurement of how much a ray of light bends when it passes through the material.
Select a predefined index, or select Custom to specify an index number between 0
(no refraction) and 5 (most refraction). Index of Refraction
Cut-outs/Perforations
Shapes cut into the surface of the material. Select a shape, or select Custom to define
cut-outs using a black-and-white image, leaving holes where the black areas occur.
See
Specifying an Image File for a Render Appearance on page 485.
Cut-outs
Self-Illumination
Brightness of the light emitted by the material, measured in candelas per square meter.
Select a predefined value, or select Custom to enter a value. Luminance (cd/m^2)
Color temperature (warmth or coolness) of the light emitted by the material, described
in terms of degrees Kelvin (K). This is useful for describing color values that are close
to white. Select a predefined value, or select Custom to enter a value. Color Temperature (Kelvin)
Color transmitted through a transparent or semi-transparent material, such as glass.
See
Specifying a Render Appearance Color on page 485.
Filter Color
Bump
Bump pattern to use on the finished surface. A bump pattern defines raised and
lowered areas based on dark and light areas of an image file. To define a custom Bump Pattern
bump pattern, select Custom. See Specifying an Image File for a Render Appearance
on page 485.
Relative height or depth of the specified bump pattern. Enter 0 to make the surface
flat. Enter higher decimal values (up to 1.0) to increase the depth of the surface irreg-
ularities. Amount
Glass Properties
You can define the following properties for glass materials on the Render Appearance tab of the Materials
dialog. See also Glass, glazing, and mirrors on page 486.
Description Property
Color of the glass. (Transmittance refers to the light that passes through the glass.)
Select a predefined glass color, or select Custom to specify a color. See
