One more demonstration. This one is really simple. Anybody can do this themselves.

Edit a simple material with no nodes.

Put RGB 127, 127, 127 into the Diffuse_Color.

Put RGB 128, 128, 128 into the Specular_Color.

Save this material in your library.

Using a text editor, go find that MT5 file and open it and look inside.

  KdColor 0.498039 0.498039 0.498039 1
  KaColor 0 0 0 0
  KsColor 0.501961 0.501961 0.501961 1

The KdColor is the diffuse color - notice it is not .5.
The KsColor is the specular color - notice it is not .5.

What is .498039? It is 127 / 255
What is .501961? It is 128 / 255


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
