Question

Anisotropy reflects and transmits light with a directional bias and causes materials to appear rougher or glossier. Anisotropy default value is 0 (zero).
(a) What is the meaning if the Anisotropy value is 0 (zero)?
(b) For which type of material, Anisotropy is preferable? Metal or Wooden (Choose any one).

Hint:

Use anisotropy to create realistic reflections on materials like brushed metals.

Answer 1

(a) Anisotropy value 0: A value of zero means the material reflects light evenly in all directions, making it appear smooth and uniform.

(b) Preferable Material: Anisotropy is preferable for Metal materials, as it creates a directional gloss effect commonly seen on metallic surfaces.
