Class Material

java.lang.Object
  Material

public class Material
extends java.lang.Object

Represents information about the specular properties of a surface, including how reflective or refractive the surface is.

Constructor Summary

Material()

Method Summary

Color	getColor(double ambAmt, double diffAmt, double specAmt) Returns the color of this surface given the amount of ambient, diffuse, and specular light computed to fall on the surface.
ColorVector	getReflectivity() Returns a color vector representing how reflective this material is for the three color components.
double	getRefractiveIndex() Returns this material's refractive index, a number between 0.0 and 1.0, with a vacuum being 1.0.
ColorVector	getRefractivity() Returns a color vector representing how refractive this material is for the three color components.
double	getSpecularExponent() Returns this material's specular exponent, as per Blinn's alternative to the Phong model.
