Specifications - General Section | |||||
Material name  The name of the material is entered. | |||||
Color  The color of the material is selected, if the texture is not assigned, this color will appear on the perspective screen. It can be changed by clicking on the color box and dragging the mouse cursor on the color palette that opens. | |||||
Shininess  The shininess value is entered. | |||||
Shininess strength  Shininess strength is entered. | |||||
Front view  The image of the selected material to be obtained when rendered is previewed.
| |||||
Transparency Section - Features and Explanations | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Transparency  The material is provided to acquire the property of a light-permeable substance. | |||||
Value  Value between 0-100 is entered.
| |||||
Refractive index  It is the coefficient showing how slow the light on that substance travels compared to the light traveling in the space.
| |||||
Defective fracture  By increasing the sampling and scattering values, it provides the opportunity to give the material a ground glass feature. The increase in the values ensures that the points are distributed homogeneously. Accordingly, rendering time may increase.
| |||||
Reflection Section - Features and Explanations | |||||
Reflection  The material is provided to reflect light. | |||||
Value  Value between 0-100 can be entered.
| |||||
Fresnel reflection  It is the back reflection of a part of the light that passes from one of two media with different refractive indices to the other. Fresnel reflection should be activated in materials such as parquet and ceramics or when defining the curtain wall element. Fresnel reflection allows you to define the object view for perpendicular surfaces and reflections for angled surfaces.
| |||||
Fresnel refractive index  It is the refractive coefficient of light passing from one medium to the other.
| |||||
Fresnel reflection multiplier  As the value of the reflection multiplier increases, the reflection becomes more evident on the parquet.
| |||||
Metallic reflection  It allows the object to reflect while preserving its own color.
| |||||
Imperfect reflection  It determines the degree of deterioration of object reflections. All objects show more or less imperfect reflection.
| |||||
Scattering  Scattering affects the clarity of the reflection.
| |||||
Sampling count  It provides a homogeneous distribution of the points on the surfaces where reflection will occur.
| |||||
Coatings Section - Features and Description | |||||
Allows you to define textures in the program or in your hand to the material. You can select and use these textures from the textures folder in the program, as well as textures obtained from the internet (jpeg, bump and shinness in a package).  You can select and use these textures from the textures folder in the program, as well as textures obtained from the internet (jpeg, bump and shinness in a package). Select texture which is d for texture , bump b for embossing , s or r shinness for reflection .
| |||||
Tissue  The image of the material to be used for the object is defined. | |||||
Opacity  It is the definition of the jpegin to show the back black part as empty and the white part.
| |||||
Relief  It allows to feel the created material in 3D.
| |||||
Brightness  It gives shine to the created material. | |||||
Reflection  Gives reflection to the created material.
| |||||
Offset  According to the value in black color defined on the material, the material gains 3D.
| |||||
Save item  Saves the material as .imt extension. | |||||
Upload item  Selects previously recorded materials and adds them to the list of materials. |

Features and Descriptions | |||||
Front view  The image of the selected material to be obtained when rendered is previewed.
| |||||
Grass & Feather  In the Effects tab, grass and feathers are activated and the grass or carpet is made 3D. | |||||
Intensity  It is the amount of grass per unit area. Depending on the increase in density, rendering time may be longer.
| |||||
Quality  A value between 1-10 can be entered as the quality number value. The higher the quality number, the higher the bending details of the grass.
| |||||
Length  The minimum maximum length is generated in a random interval. The largest and smallest values are entered. | |||||
Thickness  The minimum and maximum thickness is generated in a random range. The largest and smallest values are entered. | |||||
Slimming  The minimum and maximum thinning is generated in a random range. The largest and smallest values are entered. | |||||
Twist  The minimum maximum bending is generated in a random range. The largest and smallest values are entered. | |||||
Calculating light  It excludes material in light calculation. | |||||
Takes shadow  Controls whether the object with this material can cast a shadow. | |||||
Makes shadow  Controls whether the object with this material cast a shadow or not. | |||||
Radiation  By giving the material the luminous intensity, the object itself is made to be a light source.
| |||||
Glow intensity  The amount of radiation is entered. | |||||
Sampling count  It specifies how many points the light will be calculated. It affects the quality of the edges of soft shadows. | |||||
Save item  Saves the material as .imt extension. | |||||
Upload item  Selects previously recorded materials and adds them to the list of materials. |
