is it blinn or phong?
one of the two (difference is in the results, phong was invented after blinn so you'd think phong is better)

make the colour black (i thought you'd make it grey but everyone says black)
and boost the reflectivity right up.




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

The Blinn shader is pretty handy for pretty much anything, though I will say, I fell in love with the mia_material_x.
