Quote - It was my understanding that the blinn should be plugged into the alternate specular channel, which, little as I know, makes some sense to me.

But I'm working with a hair figure where the creator has plugged it into the alternate diffuse. Can someone explain a little bit about the principles here?

I've plugged the blinn into the regular specular already, but never the diffuse or alt diffuse. That sort of baffles me as well.
