It takes some scrutinizing, I can see the slight differences, although I haven't
even tried this myself yet and so don't know if the float values would be the
same or not. I guess if there were a "difference" it is the highlight diffusion
being sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on the angle of light source to
the object surfaces. In a similar way to how angle dependant reflection works
maybe. Or did I read that somewhere?

| Here it is. But since the "#version unofficial MegaPov 0.4;" statement must

Slight differences can make a picture. Often small area lights, a slight
focal blur and a little light fading can make an average picture
outstanding.

I didn't use the same values... I just tried to get the two textures to have
similar highlight properties. For example, the original F_MetalC, D and E
have the same amount of specular (0.80) but my blinn versions have 2.0, 1.9
and 2.1.

It also seems like the highlight is grayer and reflects less (but that could
be changes in the "reflection" property, which has been changed in Mega
0.4). I'll be doing some more experimenting, making textures that don't use
reflection.
