Yes exactly what I need (I'll have to test it later), and if I want a specular
gradient I can also put other such specular layers with different colors and
roughness/Phong_Size I hope too much of this won't slow down the material too
much, but I guess not since it's only specular, not reflection... I was only
surprised that indenting a color_map under phong or specular wasn't built-in :)
I don't mind such workarounds, they're a really good mind training for me!
You're teaching me a lot these days clipka, thanks. and to the others too very
responsive group. I'll continue stealing your time a little.
