specular maps

[cassius]

Is it easy to make specular maps? Is there any free software to make them?

Take some color map, with Gimp or other software make it black and white, than apply darker/Brighter masks on areas where you need more or less specular.

You can go fast and use defaut grey colors transformation or put more work to change it and add details, all depends on how much time you can afford to make specular maps.
