SmartStart Library
Data Sheets
Learn about the optical data available in the SmartStart Library, including high-accuracy datasets for glasses, plastics, surface finishes and mold textures. This datasheet provides a detailed overview of the types of materials included, how the data is measured and validated, and how it supports realistic simulations in LightTools, LucidShape and LucidShape CAA V5 Based.
You'll find information on supported dataset types such as Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Functions (BSDFs) for reflectors and diffusers, wavelength-dependent absorption for plastics and glass and refractive and reflective mold textures. The datasheet also explains how to request new measurements or additions to the library.
