今天在写MooaToon的文档时, 我尝试向读者简单的解释什么是漫反射和镜面反射.
以我这个大专文盲常年浅薄的理解, 当微表面的法线随机程度较高时, 光线向各个方向随机反射, 这叫”漫反射 (Diffuse Reflection)”.
当微表面的法线较为统一时, 光线的出射角较为接近入射角, 这叫”镜面反射 (Specular Reflection)”.
也就是说产生漫反射或镜面反射是与表面粗糙度相关的, 并且网上大部分的配图也都是这么解释的:

但我怎么写怎么觉得不对劲, 于是很快发现了问题所在:
仅靠以上理解完全无法解释这两个问题, 必须刨根问底.
反射(英语:reflection)是一种物理现象,指波阵面从一个介质进入另一个介质时,部分或全部的波在两介质界面处,传播方向发生改变且返回原介质的现象。常见的例子包括光、声波和水波的反射。
https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/反射_(物理学)
Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. The law of reflection says that for specular reflection (for example at a mirror) the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected.
对比中英文的维基百科, 很明显 “The law of reflection says that for specular reflection (for example at a mirror) the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected. (反射定律指出,对于镜面反射(例如镜面反射),波入射表面的角度等于波反射的角度。)” 这句被省略了, 继续深入.
