[Guide] Mirror material

[MsEpsilon]

I'm writing this mostly for myself, reference when I need materials that entirely reflect the environment. This could be useful to someone (hopefully).

• Microsurface: Gloss map = 1.
• Diffuse model: Lambert
• Specular: Metalness map = 1
• Fresnel: None
• Visibility: Implicit
• Normal distribution: Blinn-Phong

(Note: Stride crashes when using Thin Glass DFG)

Use case for example is testing cubemaps. Like so:

Thanks, do you have also instructions for glass material?

[MsEpsilon]

Sure, here's how:

• Switch specular model to Glass
• Use a refractive index between 1.4 and 1.7 (image used ~1.62) See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refractive_indices
• Enable transparency (I use additive, alpha = 1.0)

Image has white 8 spheres rendered behind the transparent sphere.

I think this could work for materials like windows, otherwise I imagine you may want to use this shader too #1011

(Or just add use this... )
