In most fresnel implementations, you can have a value influence the spread of the fresnel at which angle to start showing fresnel, using a hard falloff or a smooth falloff. In general, when light reaches an interface between two materials, some light reflects off the surface at the interface, and some refracts through the surface. Ambient occlusion its darker in a cave color bleeding a red carpet will make a white ceiling a litte bit red any kind of global illumination whatsoever its the name that regroups all previous ones in a word.
