• Key Concepts: 
  Glossiness is a feature of SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) that allows users to create realistic 3D models with a glossy finish. It is a type of surface reflection that adds realism to the 3D models and makes them look more lifelike. Glossiness can be adjusted to create different levels of reflection, from low to high.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use glossiness in SAP Visual Enterprise, users must first select the object they want to apply the effect to. Then, they can adjust the glossiness level by using the slider in the Properties window. The higher the glossiness level, the more reflective the object will be. Additionally, users can also adjust the color of the glossiness effect by selecting a color from the Color Picker window.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When adjusting the glossiness level, it is important to keep in mind that too much glossiness can make an object look unnatural and unrealistic. It is best to start with a low level and gradually increase it until you achieve the desired effect. Additionally, it is important to note that glossiness only affects objects that are lit by direct light sources, such as spotlights or directional lights.
