We then proceed with a form of compositing directly within the material: rather than layering in post-production, we simulate reflections within the material itself, which in turn becomes a light emitter. The shader is thus view-dependent: it varies according to the viewer&#8217;s perspective by utilizing its reflection vector. Specular reflections are emitted from the object itself, in addition to its physical specularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-custom-css has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-44b0a6178d96df5987a534ddec101973 wp-custom-css-c09d5626\"><em>02<\/em><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Digital Craftsmanship of Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/lore-et-lumiere.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Underline.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lore-et-lumiere.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Underline.png 512w, https:\/\/lore-et-lumiere.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Underline-300x14.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-28268d0883a5b2f542ebb7d7f8299bee wp-block-paragraph\">We render increasingly complex materials such as brushed steel, pitted steel, and precious metals with embossed engravings.
