V-Ray Mtl Sheen

This section describes properties that are found only on the node itself.

Sheen Amount – Specifies how much the sheen layer overlays the diffuse color. The higher the amount, the more of the sheen color you get. An integer-outputting node can controls this parameter, or the value can be set manually. See the example.

A Sheen layer can be used to create cloth materials such as satin.

Sheen Color – Specifies the color.

Sheen Glossiness – Controls the sharpness of reflections. A value of 1.0 means all of the light reaches the diffuse color, and when the value is smaller, the cloth material looks glossier. See the example.

Example: Sheen Amount
