Title: My 3D terminology problem...
Post by: maestro on January 24, 2009, 10:24:47 am

I know how to navigate the software, and my friend Boywonda1 :) is pulling me through both the simple and complicated, but both me, him and other anim8ors i've met back here don't seem to fully understand the anim8or terms, if anyone can help, can you tell me what this stuff means?

specularity, ambience, diffuse, roughness e.t.c all those things in that menu. I'd like to know what exactly they do so that my surfaces when designing can look more realistic plus texturing. Help me please! :(
