We have updated the library of properties that you use to make effects for the 3D and added the following ones. Clear Coat, an effect that simulates a paint effect, just like when you add transparency to a paint on a car, furniture etc.. Anisotropic, it’s the effect that you see as light reflects on surfaces such as cd-rom. See this. Sheen, effect applicable for particular fabrics. Subsurface, it simulates the diffusion of the light on certain material, such as skin, wax. Think about when you put a light behind your finger and you see the light on the other side. Well, just like that. The above works on the 3D view of the Customizer as well. Stay up to date and follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.
