This can be useful for reproducing the effect of shiny coating on rough looking fur. Primary glossiness – Additional scaling factor to boost the primary reflection glossiness. It primarily controls the width of the highlight, essentially how shiny the hair appears. Glossiness – Controls the glossiness along the hair strand. Although the diffuse parameter allows for some artistic control, for realistic results it is best to disable it by leaving the Diffuse amount at 0.

Note that real-world hair or fur does not have a diffuse component. Use this for materials made out of cloth threads or other non-translucent fibers, as well as for dirty hair.ĭiffuse amount – Specifies the amount for the diffuse component of the material. White is fully opaque, while black is fully transparent.ĭiffuse color – Controls the diffuse component of the shader. For a dyed hair look, set the Melanin to 0, otherwise the melanin darkens the dye color and pheomelanin introduces redness to it. See the Pheomelanin example below.ĭye color – Applies a color tint to the hair. The Pheomelanin value will have no effect if the Melanin is set to 0. The ratio of melanin to pheomelanin determines how red the hair is.

Pheomelanin – The redness (pheomelanin content) of the hair strand as fraction of all melanin. See the Melanin examplebelow to understand how different values work. The higher the value assigned, the higher the concentration of melanin and the darker the hair strands are.

Melanin – The pigmentation component that gives the hair strand its main color. See the Presets example below for comparison. You can choose between White, White (Fur), Sandy Blond, Golden Blond, Light Brown, Dark Brown, Aged Dark Brown, Ginger Red, Auburn, Scarlet Red(Dyed), Atlantic Blue (Dyed), Lagoon Blue (Dyed), Black presets.
