ShaderNodeBsdfPrincipled(ShaderNode)#

base classes — bpy_struct, Node, NodeInternal, ShaderNode

class bpy.types.ShaderNodeBsdfPrincipled(ShaderNode)#

Physically-based, easy-to-use shader for rendering surface materials, based on the OpenPBR model

distribution#

Light scattering distribution on rough surface

  • GGX GGX.

  • MULTI_GGX Multiscatter GGX – GGX with additional correction to account for multiple scattering, preserve energy and prevent unexpected darkening at high roughness.

Type:

enum in [‘GGX’, ‘MULTI_GGX’], default ‘GGX’

subsurface_method#

Method for rendering subsurface scattering

  • BURLEY Christensen-Burley – Approximation to physically based volume scattering.

  • RANDOM_WALK Random Walk – Volumetric approximation to physically based volume scattering, using the scattering radius as specified.

  • RANDOM_WALK_SKIN Random Walk (Skin) – Volumetric approximation to physically based volume scattering, with scattering radius automatically adjusted to match color textures. Designed for skin shading.

Type:

enum in [‘BURLEY’, ‘RANDOM_WALK’, ‘RANDOM_WALK_SKIN’], default ‘BURLEY’
