We can see isotropic reflection in materials like matte paint and rough surfaces where it scatters light uniformly in all directions, providing diffuse illumination. On the other hand, anisotropic reflection is evident in various materials such as brushed metal, hair, textured fabrics, wood grain, and engineered surfaces. In these cases, light is preferentially scattered in specific directions, resulting in directional highlights or patterns.

When it comes to isotropic vs anisotropic reflection is there a in between where it's equally as isotropic and anisotropic or is it only considered to be either if it reaches a significant thresh mark. In addition, when it comes to isotropic and anisotropic reflection, how does understanding these concepts help us in design, display, or computer graphics.
