“6. Material gloss, the principle: A non-mirror surface looks the same in any environment, but a mirror surface changes with the light and the surroundings. The same material can have different visual effects by using different processes and special materials. But it is hard to change the quality of the material by using the same process on different grades of the same material. Some materials have a charm that is not only based on their features, but also on how they interact with the environment. For example, precious metals can reflect light and show a unique visual effect, even if they are very similar to other elements. The best visual effect is when some of the light is reflected and some of it shows the gloss of the material. The second best is when there is no reflection at all. The third best is when there is a mirror-like reflection that creates complex scenes that are hard to control.” — Shakenal Dimension
