Hello everyone,

I'm trying to re-recreate the metallic effect of the aluminum lab canisters from Get To Work.
I was studying the specular map for that item and I'm wondering why the map is pink/purple. Does that serve a specific purpose?

HERE is a tutorial about how to make the specular. The effects are controlled by the channels in your 2d editor. Although the images are broken in the thread (damn photobucket) you can still read the steps. The guide of which channel does what is still there.

Please do not PM me to help you with your creating problems. You can post in the Creators Help so everyone can see the problem and solution.
