Controlling edge reflectance on diffuse surfaces

Christopher Tyler Dec, 24th 2014 0 Comments

CX Intermediate, CX Version 7.5 Specific, Design 3D CX

This materials and rendering tutorial shows how to impart subtle surface shading for diffuse materials. Specifically, it shows how to use the fresnel interpolator to adjust the reflectance at glancing angles to help give a greater sense of dimension to diffuse shaded objects.
