   * **Exponent** This controls the curve of the approximated frensel effect. The higher the value the more pronounced the effect.   * **Exponent** This controls the curve of the approximated frensel effect. The higher the value the more pronounced the effect.

-  * **No Preprocess Reflectivity** When this control is turned on, the reflectiviy will be set to 0 while LightWave renders a pre-pass. This can speed up interpolated radiosity renders. +  * **No Preprocess Reflectivity** Sets the reflectiviy to 0 while LightWave renders a pre-pass. This can speed up interpolated radiosity renders. 
 +  * **No Radiosity Reflectivity** Sets the reflectiviy to 0 if the surface is sampled by a ray used to compute radiosity. This can speed up radiosity renders.

   * **Reflectivity** This is the computed reflectivity value and is usually connected to the reflection and/or specular input on a material node.   * **Reflectivity** This is the computed reflectivity value and is usually connected to the reflection and/or specular input on a material node.
   * **Inverse** This computes the inverse of the reflectivity value and is usually connected to the diffuse input of a material node for energy conservation.   * **Inverse** This computes the inverse of the reflectivity value and is usually connected to the diffuse input of a material node for energy conservation.
