Specular Color
Here you can select the color of the highlights. The strengths of the colors on the Color page and the
Specular Color page are added together. The total color here is multiplied with the normal color of the
highlight. For example, if you have a white plastic highlight, you can dene its color here directly.
With metallic effects in particular, any highlight color other than white greatly adds to the realistic
appearance of the material, as demonstrated by this spaceship.
Texture, Mix Mode, Mix Strength
For details on these settings, look up ‘texture settings’ in the index.
The intensity of the specular is affected by any chosen texture image (color or grayscale). The brighter
a pixel in the image, the more evident the highlight will be at that point.
