that specular power of 300 is a bit high... if you're going for a sheen, I've seen levels of about 20 recommended....

You can control the colour of the specular highlight in the same way as the default material. Either manually type in you RGB numbers or drag the hue slider.

If you say your object looks more like it's "glowing", make sure you have Emissive colour set at 0.

Try this:



Thses setting should give you what you are looking for. Try experimenting with different values, and read the "Material Basics" tutorial under "design workshop" in FSDS help. This section gives some useful pictures that help to describe materials and their properties.

Hope that helps.

Sorry, the RGB values for Specular colour should read, 255, 255, 255 - white.
