The Sheen layer can simulate the grazing coloration or rim lighting in fabrics like velvet. It can also simulate layers of dust. See the Universal Material topic in this manual for more information.

Sheen Layer Parameters

Sheen - The Sheen layer's color.

Roughness - The Sheen layer's roughness. Higher values spread the sheen color to larger parts of the surface.

Affect Roughness - The percentage of roughness affecting subsequent layers' roughness.

Bump - Simulates a relief by using a Greyscale texture interpreted as a Height map for the layer.

Bump Height - Determines the height represented by a normalized value of 1.0 in the bump texture. A vaule of 0 disables the bump map and a negative value will invert the bump map.

Normal - Distorts Layer normals by using an RGB image.

Layer Opacity - Controls the Layer opacity with a Greyscale texture.
