If you want to reduce the brightness of the specular highlight, which property would you adjust?

• A. Diffuse Color
• B. Specular
• C. Glossiness
• D. Opacity

Answer: (B)

Specular reflection controls the mirror-like highlight on a shiny surface. To dim that bright spot, reduce the specular value, since this lowers how much light is reflected in that highlight. The diffuse color affects non-shiny, diffuse lighting, and opacity changes transparency, while glossiness changes how sharp or broad the highlight appears rather than its overall brightness. So lowering the specular setting directly reduces the brightness of the specular highlight.
