Materials: Metal

Metalic materials features a reflection coefficient that depends on the incidence angle and the wavelength.

Another feature of metals is that they tints the reflected light with their own color. Compare the above metalic sphere with a plastic one:

The intensity of this effect depends on the incidence angle.
