No longer needed.

How do I set the roughness of a specular highlight?
Is there a `specular {}` block?

What would the correct way to update the following be?


#local ldrawChromeFin=finish {
  brilliance 6
  diffuse 0.7
  metallic
  specular 0.80
  roughness 1/120
  reflection 0.8
};



Do reflection and specular each have their own blocks containing a 
roughness parameter?


#local ldrawChromeFin=finish {
  brilliance 6
  diffuse 0.7
  metallic
  specular {0.80 roughness 1/120}
  reflection {0.8 roughness 1/120}
};

Oh? I had not been aware of that. Good to know; thanks.

Ignore the `metallic` keyword there since I overlooked it too.

finish{
	diffuse 0.1
	ambient 0
	reflection{1 fresnel roughness 0.001 conserve_energy}
	specular 0.7
	roughness 0.001
   }

It have been around like that for almost for ever...

This could cause an error message.

This way :
#local ldrawChromeFin=finish {
  brilliance 6
  diffuse 0.7
  metallic
  specular 0.80 roughness 1/120
  reflection {0.8 roughness 1/120 metallic}
}

The first metallic affect the specular or phong highlight. The metallic 
in the reflection block affect the reflection only.
There is NO specular block.
Reflection may be used without a block which is the legacy syntax. In 
that case, it will borrow the metallic of specular, but not the roughness.

Awesome, thanks. That clears up the syntax for me.

I didn't know that reflection would 'borrow' the specular's metallic in such a
case. Thanks.

It's a leftover/backware compatibility thing.
Before the reflection block was introduced, there was no way to know if 
any metallic modifier was intended for phong, specular or reflection. 
Also, the actual order was totally ignored.

Thus
metallic
phong 1
phong_size 150
reflection 0.8

phong 1
metallic
phong_size 150
reflection 0.8

phong 1
reflection 0.8
metallic
phong_size 150

phong_size 150
metallic
reflection 0.8
phong 1

and

phong 1
phong_size 150
reflection 0.8
metallic

would gives the same result.
This is what I mean by "borrow".
