Feature Request: Specular Maps and RPC

Well the title says it all. Specular maps would be nice. This way you have more control over the specularity on different parts of floortiles for example. Also see http://www.arroway-textures.com/textures/02/demos/demo_tiles-61.jpg . On this site you can also download some example textures, they are very nice. An RPC plugin would also be nice ( www.rpcnet.com ).

Hi Peer,
specular maps are no problem. I already wanted to add them. You can expect them soon. Not in the next update but probably thereafter.

The link to the textures was great. The free examples have a resolution of 700x700 which should be enough for many renderings

And the quality is great.

A Piranesi™ (.epix) exporter will come first. So RPC have to wait a little bit. Sorry.

That sounds great Martin, this is one reason for me to buy this dvd. For only 49 euros that's a bargain. Incredible how many nice software comes from Germany :wink:

Hi,
since I want you to support the weak german economy I've added support for spec textures immediately. So theres no reason not to buy the DVD. :wink:

OK, the main reason was that it only took me a few lines of code. 8)

The next update will also offer reflection textures (which you probably need for HDRI renderings) and blured reflections.

Martin I just gave the German economy a boost by buying the DVD :wink:. Can't wait for the specular maps etc. And Jake will be very happy with the EPIX exporter. Looking forward to some pictures you're going to make with cheetah/piranesi Jake.!
