attributes menu

diffuse intensity input box

Purpose
To display or change the diffuse intensity for the current attribute.

Usage
Click the intensity data input box to activate it (red outline), and the prompt will appear:

In response to this prompt, type the new value for the diffuse intensity. Press <enter> to confirm. If you type a '?' followed by <enter>, the selection submenu will be displayed where you can make your selection from the available file maps for the diffuse intensity.

Comments
The diffuse intensity indicates the level by which the color is diffusely reflected from the surface of an object (not the same as reflection). The useful range of the diffuse intensity is from zero to one. Added together, the intensities for diffuse, transparency, and reflection should be one. Any value map can be entered in response to the prompt instead of a single numerical value.

Example

Intensity: 0.2      	0.4      	0.6      	0.8      	1.0
