The task

Currently, the renderer lacks support for metallic (conductor) materials. Metals reflect light fundamentally differently from dielectrics: their Fresnel reflectance depends on a complex index of refraction (n + ik) and varies strongly with wavelength, producing the characteristic colors of metals (e.g., gold’s yellow…
