 The **roughness** texture property defines the roughness of the surface. This property is one of the most important properties in the **[[gamedev:pbr|physically based rendering]]** approach. In other game engines specular reflection also includes the surface roughness together with the reflectivity which results in troubles working with such a combined value. The roughness on the other hand decouples the shape of the reflection from the intensity of the reflection. The **[[gamedev:textureproperties:reflectivity|reflectivity]]** texture property determines in general the **intensity of reflections** while this texture property determines the **shape of the reflection**. Two pices of plastic for example have the same **[[gamedev:textureproperties:reflectivity|reflectivity]]**. One of them is though rather smooth with a low roughness value while the other is rather dull with a higher roughness value. The appearance of the plastic is totally different. The different roughness value alters the shape, intensity and bluriness of the reflection on the plastic material. To get a good looking material good values for this texture property are important. The **roughness** texture property defines the roughness of the surface.

 To help artists a **Roughness Chart** is provided. The chart features on top a row of plastic and metal materials as they appear in the game using the default OpenGL graphic module. This gives an impression on how blurry the reflection is and how the shape of the reflections widens and gets weaker with changing roughness values. The lower row is a special row where only the specular reflection of a light source is shown. This row is better suited to compare a real world object if a tiny light source is reflected in the object in a dark room. In the middle is a color picker the artist can use to sample the roughness value he wants to paint with. Click on the image to download it. To help artists a **Roughness Chart** is provided.

 Optionally the second color component can be used to specify a different roughness value. This can be used to simulate metals that have anisotropic reflections. A typical example is brushed metal. Due to the brushing the reflections are elongated along perpendicular to the brushing direction. This can be simulated using two different roughness values one for along the brushing direction and the other perpendicular to it. Here this is limited to the texture U and V direction. The red color component (component 0) maps to the U texture direction and the green color component (component 1) maps to the V texture direction. If two color components are used anisotropic reflections are used. If one color component is used normal reflections are used. Using the same value for both color components has the same effect. Optionally the second color component can be used to specify a different roughness value.
