The best way to understand materials and material definition is not by a formula or X + Y = Z or following a guide, its by observation. It is honestly the best way to understand materials, how they react in the light and understanding what is causing that effect. Its more then just looking at something and being like, oh…
They are there Pain. Softer angles, not very sharp edges but the plane changes are there.

Then I found this: Uniformly coloured surfaces passing between different levels of illumination under a single light source are…
