specular()

Sets the specular color of the materials used for shapes drawn to the screen, which sets the color of highlights.

Examples

def setup():
    py5.size(100, 100, py5.P3D)
    py5.background(0)
    py5.no_stroke()
    py5.background(0)
    py5.fill(0, 51, 102)
    py5.light_specular(255, 255, 255)
    py5.directional_light(204, 204, 204, 0, 0, -1)
    py5.translate(20, 50, 0)
    py5.specular(255, 255, 255)
    py5.sphere(30)
    py5.translate(60, 0, 0)
    py5.specular(204, 102, 0)
    py5.sphere(30)

Description

Sets the specular color of the materials used for shapes drawn to the screen, which sets the color of highlights. Specular refers to light which bounces off a surface in a preferred direction (rather than bouncing in all directions like a diffuse light). Use in combination with emissive(), ambient(), and shininess() to set the material properties of shapes.

Underlying Processing method: specular
