mib_glossy_refraction_phong_phen

Category: mental ray > Materials

Shader Family: Surface Material

Output: Color

This shader is very similar to the mib_glossy_refraction shader, but has a few differences. Since it deals with refraction, it has a "deep material" rather than an environment.

The mib_glossy_refraction_phong_phen shader implements a built-in Phong shading, instead of the shading model being driven by illumination shaders of your choice as with the mib_glossy_refraction shader (refer to this shader for all parameter descriptions). Instead of picking a top_material shader, you must set actual values for the ambient, diffuse, and specular color, and a specular decay (exponent). Similarly, the deep_material shader is replaced by a deep_diffuse color. You can also pick which lights in the scene will contribute to the effect.

The parameters that are unique to this shader are discussed further in the table below.
