Index of Refraction values (IOR)

Index of Refraction values (IOR) - For use with 3d modeling / rendering and animation applications

I can find for use in 3d rendering applications. Many 3d applications these days allow you to input actual IOR values in order to achieve a more accurate representation of surfaces during rendering of your 3d models. It obviously helps if you know what the correct IOR value is for the type of surface you are trying to re-create. You should be able to use these values in many different 3d applications - such as Blender 3d, Autodesk 3DS Max, Autodesk Maya, Maxon Cinema 4D, Next Limit Maxwell, The Foundry Modo and More. Please do not take this list to be a scientifically accurate list. It is for general usage in 3d applications only and not for scientific use.
