Hi Folks,
Using TSRW, I ran into an issue trying to create a glossy "Katy Perry-ish" PVC dress. I created a multiplier with strong highlights (where light should bloom out the color), a near-white specular for (in theory) high reflectiveness and fixed up the normal to cancel out the default neck-holder dress' bumpmap features (should be S3 base content).
When I apply color, the highlights are... well, disappointing. Brighter than the rest, but not glossy enough by far. When I "brighten" the color so that the highlights approach white, the rest is also pale, and that's unsatisfactory as well. Anyone got an idea? I read that one might alter the mesh for reflectiveness, but I have no idea how.
I also tried different textures/patterns, but the result was the same.
I attached jpgs of Mult,Spec and the result. When you see the mult, you should get an idea what I intended it to look like.
At first I thought that my notebook's crappy X300 graphics denied the shine, but there's a shiny swimsuit (by kiara I think) I d/l'ed that displays just fine, so I could rule that out.
Thanks for any help
