Shaders / Specular Maps

holy hell peri when did you get so good and do you have a portfolio?

I'm pretty sure lighter = shinier. Here's an example of a texture I did (although it's not anywhere near as great as Peri's):

I saved the specular as an alpha channel in the normal map. It works great in-game.

I smell that mike wants you.peri go update ur folio.

mmmh I luv the peri~~~

Yeah I don't get it, specular maps EVERYWHERE are bright= shiny, dark= unshiny.. I mean everywhere, movie CG, other games, whatever

So has anyone found out if Source supports color speculars?

have you tried just making a color spec and compiling it?
