[comp.graphics] Material Attributes

bldrnr@Apple.COM (Brian Hurley) (03/23/88)

    After several attempts to recreate a glass wheel on my own, I would
like to ask if anyone out there can direct me to a list of materal
compositions for graphic rendering.  Some specific materals I would like to
render include:
Glass, Precious metals(gold, silver, copper), chrome, plastics, and
stone(obsidian, granite, concrete, marble etc)
  Below is a list of the attributes I can control:
Specular hilites
Diffusion
Reflectivity
Refractivity
Surface color
Reflective color
Refractive color
Refractive index
Surface roughness

  Any information or sources would be greatly appreciated!
