Bề Mặt (Surfaces)

The surface shader defines the light interaction at the surface of the mesh. One or more BSDFs specify if incoming light is reflected back, refracted into the mesh, or absorbed.

Emission defines how light is emitted from the surface, allowing any surface to become a light source.

Thuật Ngữ (Terminology)

Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function: Hàm Phân Bổ Tán Xạ Hai Chiều

Stands for Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function. It defines how light is reflected and refracted at a surface.

Phản Quang (Reflection)

BSDFs reflect an incoming ray on the same side of the surface.

Truyền Xạ (Transmission)

BSDFs transmit an incoming ray through the surface, leaving on the other side.

Refraction (Khúc Xạ)

BSDFs are a type of Transmission, transmitting an incoming ray and changing its direction as it exits on the other side of the surface.

Các Tham Số BSDF (BSDF Parameters)

A major difference from non-physically-based renderers is that direct light reflection from lights and indirect light reflection of other surfaces are not decoupled, but rather handled using a single BSDF. This limits the possibilities a bit, but we believe overall it is helpful in creating consistent-looking renders with fewer parameters to tune.

Độ Nhám/Ráp/Rối (Roughness)

For the glossy BSDFs, the roughness parameter controls the sharpness of the reflection, from 0.0 (perfectly sharp) to 1.0 (very soft).
