Dictates the sharpness or blurriness of surface reflections.
Achieving realism in marble requires proper subsurface scattering (SSS) or carefully calibrated diffuse layers. The library provides Calacatta marble, dark granite, travertine, and rough slate, complete with synchronized vein reflections.
These materials are pre-configured with physically accurate settings to ensure realistic light behavior, reflection, and refraction.
