7th Jan 2009, 09:41 PM	help with glossy recolor #1
babu357 Original Poster Lab Assistant Join Date: Dec 2007 Posts: 148	A little while ago I asked about recolring obejcts so that they can be matt or glossy. Numenor was kind enough to help me with that. I wanted to make something glossy again, and I saved those directions, but I forgot what I did when I came to this part: ----Also, check the "stdMatEnvCubeMode" parameter: in order to have a matte look, it must be set to "none".------ My question is, Do you have to change anything in "stdMatEnvCubeMode" parameter, to have a glossy finish or do I leave it at none?

Making an object appear matte is simple: just set the "stdMatEnvCubeMode" to none and the entire EnvCube section will be ignored. But making an object glossy again requires properly setting all the other entries in the stdEnvCube section: it would be easier to copy the values from a Material Definition of another object that looks like you want.
