glossiness
Glossiness is a measure or descriptor of an object's shininess or lustrous quality. It refers to the amount of light that a surface reflects, particularly in a mirror-like, smooth, and specular manner. A higher level of glossiness implies a polished, shiny surface, while a lower level is associated with dull and matte surfaces. This attribute is commonly used in various fields such as 3D modelling, painting, design, and materials science.
