Is specular MAPPING supported - IE using a texture in a seperate channel to control the specularity of a surface?

Thanks

Yes. Just make a spec map for a ship and name it "shiptexturename-shine.pcx"
I think thats right at least.

Don't forget that shine-mapping is colored, not a single channel, so you can control the color of the specular highlight with a colored shine-map

bear in mind that if i do you'll be able to have maybe 3 or 4 of them on screen before the thing chugs...

and that'd be on a wildcatVP/gf4 + card
