More details about Fresnel reflection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations#Theory

Still don't completely understand how polarization of the material changes based solely on viewing angle. Did anyone figure this out?

@adampahlavan here is a short video I found with some intuition about why the angle is important https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp1iKhbEbGE. There are more detailed explanations, including the wiki entry listed above. These go deeper into the math of light reflection and how the type material might affect polarization.
