Interface: MaterialSheen

Creates a soft, brushed highlight effect on surfaces.

Sheen adds a distinctive soft-gloss appearance typical of fabrics, brushed metals, or materials with very fine surface texture. It creates subtle, wide highlights that add realism to many common materials.

Business value:

  • Essential for realistic fabric materials like microfiber, suede, or velvet
  • Creates authentic appearance for brushed metals and soft-touch finishes
  • Distinguishes between hard polished and soft brushed surfaces
  • Enhances perceived quality of textile and fabric product visualization
