Vray Materials Instant

[ f_r = f_diffuse + f_specular ] For perfectly rough surfaces, V-Ray defaults to the Lambertian model (constant albedo). However, for rough, clay-like materials, V-Ray implements the Oren-Nayar model, which accounts for retro-reflection:

For conductors (metals), V-Ray uses the ( \tilden = n + ik ), where ( k ) is the extinction coefficient: vray materials

[ F_conductor = \frac(n^2 + k^2) - 2n\cos\theta + \cos^2\theta(n^2 + k^2) + 2n\cos\theta + \cos^2\theta ] [ f_r = f_diffuse + f_specular ] For

[ D_GGX(m) = \frac\alpha^2\pi \left( (n \cdot m)^2 (\alpha^2 - 1) + 1 \right)^2 ] V-Ray implements the Oren-Nayar model
