Terra bright white directional light highlights- what is it?

Post by Nickak2003 »

Terra saturates the terrain with white spots in some areas, like a shine reflection, and I'm trying to figure out how to prevent this. Here's an image:

Hi!

What you're seeing is the specular reflections.

There are 2 ways of dimming that in the material (either via C++ by grabbing the applied HlmsTerraDatablock or editing the JSON material):
  1. Directly through metalness: Lower this value to a minimum
  2. Indirectly through roughness: Increase this value to dim it
