IOR
Refraction index of materials.
What it does
The index of refraction (IOR) of common materials, for 3D shaders: how much light bends through glass, water or a gem, and how strong its reflections are.
How
- Tap a row to copy its value (with a point: 1.333), then paste it in the IOR field of your shader (Principled BSDF in Blender, Standard Surface…).
- For a clear coat (car paint, varnished wood), use about 1.5 in the coat layer.
