Py5Shape.specular()

Sets the specular color of a Py5Shape object’s material, which sets the color of highlight.

Examples

def create_strip(r, g, b):
    s = py5.create_shape()
    s.begin_shape(py5.TRIANGLE_STRIP)
    s.fill(0, 51, 102)
    s.specular(r, g, b)
    s.vertex(10, 40, -25)
    s.vertex(20, 0, -10)
    s.vertex(30, 40, 0)
    s.vertex(40, 0, 5)
    s.vertex(50, 40, 0)
    s.vertex(60, 0, -10)
    s.vertex(70, 40, -25)
    s.end_shape()
    return s


def setup():
    py5.size(100, 100, py5.P3D)
    py5.background(0)
    py5.light_specular(255, 255, 255)
    py5.directional_light(204, 204, 204, 0, 0, -1)
    py5.shape(create_strip(255, 255, 255), 0, 5)
    py5.shape(create_strip(204, 102, 0), 0, 50)

Description

Sets the specular color of a Py5Shape object’s material, which sets the color of highlight. 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 Py5Shape.emissive(), Py5Shape.ambient(), and Py5Shape.shininess() to set the material properties of a Py5Shape object.

This method can only be used within a Py5Shape.begin_shape() and Py5Shape.end_shape() pair. The specular color setting will be applied to vertices added after the call to this method.

Underlying Processing method: PShape.specular
