This page provides information on the Coat Specular Render Element.


Overview


The Coat Specular Render element is analogous to the Specular Render Element.

The Coat Specular Render Element stores the direct specular reflection (highlight) information calculated from the VRayMtl Coat Layer. Specular reflection is defined as the reflection of light from a surface in a single particular reflection, as opposed to a diffuse reflection which is reflected at many angles.

The brighter the area, the more highlight reflection the object exhibits in the render. Specular highlights will be colored if the Reflection Color parameter of a material is colored.


UI Path: ||Display Render Settings button|| > Render Elements tab > Coat Specular
