Plastic material

This is material simulates a plastic surface with a choice of specular functions.

This is a basic plastic material. There is an option for color map to be used as the surface color. It has a choice of specular functions as well as a map to tint the specular color. It a good material for any surface that does not need reflection.

Parameters

Surface

Ambient Intensity	A multiplier for the ambient contribution to the material. The ambient lighting model only looks at the ambient lights in the scene. If there are no ambient light, this slider will have no affect.
Lambert Intensity	A multiplier for the diffuse contribution to the material.
Use Base Color	If this box is not checked, the Base Color is ignored. Defaults to on. If Use Base Color, Use Point Color and Use Color Map are all off, the surface color will be white.
Base Color	This is the main surface color for the material. Defaults to white.
Use Point Color	If this box is checked and the point color, (`Cd`), is defined, then `Cd` is multiplied with the Base Color. Defaults to on. If Use Base Color, Use Point Color and Use Color Map are all off, the surface color will be white.
Opacity	The opacity color for this material.
Use Point Alpha	If set, the Alpha attributes will be multiplied into the final Opacity. If no Alpha Attribute exists, Opacity is unaffected.

Color Map

Use Color Map	If this box is checked the Base Color is multiplied by the specified texture map. Defaults to off. If Use Base Color, Use Point Color and Use Color Map are all off, the surface color will be white.
Base Color Map	This the name of the texture file. The icon to the right opens a file browser.
Color Map Wrap	Determines what the texture looks like when the texture coordinates are larger or less than 0 to 1. The options are: Repeat means the texture will repeat (tile). Streak means the texture color at the edges is clamped and streaks outside the map. Decal sets the color outside the texture map to the Border Color. See texture for more information.
Color Map Filter	Type of anti-aliasing filter used. See texture for more information.
Color Map Width	Filter Width is the number of pixels, in both u and v directions, to use in filtering. See texture for more information.
Color Map Border	The color used outside the map if Decal Wrap is selected. See texture for more information.

Specular

Specular Intensity	A multiplier for the specular contribution to the material.
Specular Color	The specular highlight color, defaults to white.
U Roughness	This value controls the size or spread of the specular highlight. When Anisotropic is selected, this value controls the specular highlight only in the U direction.
V Roughness	When Anisotropic is selected, this value controls the specular highlight only in the V direction. It is ignored with any other specular function.
Sharpness	This value controls the sharpness of the edge of the specular highlight. It is used only if Glossy specular is selected.
Specular Type	A selector for the specular function. Anisotropic is used to get an elliptical highlight. Glossy is typically used for highly reflective materials to get a sharp edges highlight. See specular for more information.

Specular Map

Use Specular Map	If this box is checked, the specular color is multiplied by the color of the texture in Specular Map. Defaults to off.
Specular Map	This the name of the texture file. The icon to the right opens a file browser.
Spec Map Wrap	Determines what the texture looks like when the texture coordinates are larger or less than 0 to 1. The options are: Repeat means the texture will repeat (tile). Streak means the texture color at the edges is clamped and streaks outside the map. Decal sets the color outside the texture map to the Border Color. See texture for more information.
Spec Map Filter	Type of anti-aliasing filter used. See texture for more information.
Spec Map Width	Filter Width is the number of pixels, in both u and v directions, to use in filtering. See texture for more information.
Spec Map Border	The color used outside the map if Decal Wrap is selected. See texture for more information.
