Specifies the albedo (ratio between the scattering and the extinction coefficients) of a participating medium. The default value is 1.

EXAMPLE 

# Create new named material for participating media context
mpm matPsicoCloud =
  # Set a certain albedo
  c
    # Spectrum measured in 10 nm increments from 400 to 700 nm
