5 hrs confidence:
appearance Explanation: of the material, or even surface - in this case only. Since it's a virtual object, this is all about appearances, not actual qualities, isn't it? |

1 day 34 mins confidence:
material composition Explanation: You can try also 'material structure' or 'material nature' if the first translation doesn't please you, but the first one I think it's more appropriate with assigning a consistancy to a material, substance. I hope it will help you. Best regards Stefan Radu |
