Can JKA Do Gloss?

[DT.]

Surprised I haven't asked before. Can JKA do gloss?

What exactly do you mean? Shiny like on textures/factory/env_siding? Specular-ish like on models/map_objects/kejim/ravenbody? Something else?

[Psyk0Sith]

A Gloss map is a greyscale map that describes the roughness of a surface, i.e it's Glossiness, and controls the width of the specular highlight, where a Specular Map controls the intensity (and colour if a coloured Specular Map is used). I don't think JA  has support for gloss maps.

I know it doesn't support gloss maps, but is there a gloss setting for a shader?

[Xycaleth]

No gloss setting. The best you can do is to author your spec maps to be darker for dull materials, and brighter for shiny materials.

Damn, oh well.
