This recipe will show you how to paint a rock Specular map onto your model. The Specular map plays a large part in how an object reacts to light, by controlling the highlights that are revealed when light hits the object. The type of object you are creating will guide you in how to handle the Specular map. For example, if you are creating a dielectric material (such as plastic, clay, and other nonelectric conductors), then your highlights will be a neutral value, lacking color. If you are creating a conductive material (such as bronze or other metals), then the specular highlight will be altered by the material.
