Hi all,

I am trying to make a basic shiny in Away3D 4.

I have tried this

        var m:ColorMaterial = new ColorMaterial( 0xFF0000 );
        m.gloss = 0.5;
        m.specular = 0.5;
        m.specularColor = 0xffffff;

but unfortunately it is just a red material with no shininess at all.

Are there any simple broomstick examples of simple shiny materials?

Thanks

hi

i guess your material is fine…

all you miss is a light that let it shine

hope that helps

You’ll find lots of examples on GutHub.
I suspect what you’re missing is lights.
m.lights = [someLight, anotherLight];

Try for example https://github.com/away3d/away3d-examples-broomstick/blob/master/src/LightingTest.as

Good Luck!

Thanks, that solved it - I had a light added to the scene, but I had not applied it to the material.

Cool
