| A reflectance shader is one of the four component shaders that comprise an RH_MATERIAL. A reflectance shader models the interaction of light with a surface and in particular how much light is reflected towards the viewer. A reflectance shader can be thought of as defining the surface finish. Reflectance shaders can be used to model reflectance properties that simulate the effects of a surface being composed of specific types of material such as plastic or metal. | |||||
