base classes — bpy_struct, PropertyGroup

class bpy.types.CyclesMaterialSettings(PropertyGroup)¶

homogeneous_volume¶

When using volume rendering, assume volume has the same density everywhere (not using any textures), for faster rendering

Type:	boolean, default False

sample_as_light¶

Use multiple importance sampling for this material, disabling may reduce overall noise for large objects that emit little light compared to other light sources

Type:	boolean, default True

use_transparent_shadow¶

Use transparent shadows for this material if it contains a Transparent BSDF, disabling will render faster but not give accurate shadows

Type:	boolean, default True

volume_sampling¶

Sampling method to use for volumes

DISTANCE Distance, Use distance sampling, best for dense volumes with lights far away.
EQUIANGULAR Equiangular, Use equiangular sampling, best for volumes with low density with light inside or near the volume.
MULTIPLE_IMPORTANCE Multiple Importance, Combine distance and equi-angular sampling for volumes where neither method is ideal.
