Material Basics 02: Matte

By

Description

Simple P9+ matte material using the Fresnel_Blend node.  For earlier versions of Poser, you can fake the Fresnel effect  with Edge_Blend.  You can only do it very roughly with a single Edge_Blend, but you can do more with Math nodes.  If you use Bagginsbill's Matmatic to code part or all of a material, you can use his accurate Fresnel approximation.


Part of my Poser Material Basics tutorial.

I never thought of using Fresnel on a matte material. I thought matte was just ... matte ...
