Property.anisotropy

property Property.anisotropy: float

Return or set the anisotropy coefficient.

This value controls the anisotropy of the material (0.0 means isotropic). This requires that the interpolation be set to 'Physically based rendering'.

For further details see PBR Journey Part 2 : Anisotropy model with VTK

Property has range [0.0, 1.0].

Notes

This attribute requires VTK v9.1.0 or newer.

Examples

Download Python source code | Download Jupyter notebook

Get the default anisotropy and visualize it with physically-based rendering.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> prop = pv.Property()
>>> prop.anisotropy
0.0

>>> prop.interpolation = 'pbr'  # required
>>> prop.plot()
