Model Shining Question

Hi friends,

I have a couple of dedicated CFS2 Tempest aircraft by David Hanvey, but as they are older models (but get better framerates than his converted FS9 models) they need a little shine added. My question is what settings should I start with if I'm using Archisoft's MDLC with Morton's GUI?

Thanks in advance,

TW

It's going to come down to personal preferences, TW - but I use the following:

0.3 Specular RGB

300 Specular Power

I don't care for a huge amount of reflectivity on my planes - this works best on my monitor and with my present video board config

Start here and work up - it can get really creative !

Enjoy :wavey:

...Thanks for the info, but if I may ask, how do each of these two values affect how the model shines?...

...And Ask The programmer, TW - I just experimented until I found what looked good to me !

specular power. Lowering this number gradually increases the part of the aircraft skin affected by the shine

specular RGB. Increasing the number makes the shine more intense
