I'm repainting an aircraft. I'm taking a civilian plane and repainting it military gray. Pretty happy with what I've done except for one thing. It is too shinny, too reflective. How do I make it less reflective?
the only thing I've discovered so far is the alpha channel. The default color of the alpha channel is gray. When I try to change the color, the whole page of alpha texture turns white. Then the aircraft become totally unreflective. problem is that without be reflective at all, the aircraft looses it's contrast, looks like a big gray blog instead of something that had facets and control surfaces.
so if changing the alpha texture is the way to change the reflective look of my airplane, how do I change it to something other than the default gray and the white, so it is a little reflective but not as much as it is now.
thanks,
