Is there anything analogous to color_maps for finishes? I have a
height_field that I want to gradiate a finish on. I want the lower half to
be

  finish { reflection 0.0 phong 0.1 }

while the upper half should be

  finish { reflection 0.9 phong 0.9 }

And I need it to gradiate smoothly from one finish at the bottom to the
other finish at the top. Obviously, there is no "finish_map" but is there
a way to accomplish something like this?

Try including your finish in two complete textures and use the texture_map
statement with a gradient y

Hope this helps

See this post for an example of blending finishes (a reflection map)

Thanks all. The texture_map with a gradient worked.
