Fresnel Map | VRayFresnel

This page provides information on the VRayFresnel node.

Overview

VRayFresnel is a simple texture map that blends two colors or maps based on the viewing angle and an index of refraction. For example you can connect the VRayFresnel texture to the reflection color of a V-Ray material in order to create fresnel reflection.
