The displacement map I made has the word "Pattern" in it.
This drives a Blender node. The Blender's first input is the "original" specularity - in this case a Blinn node from EZSkin.
The second input is the "new" specularity for the raised surface - the Glossy node.
Because my displacement map has soft edges, there is not a sharp transition from Blinn to Glossy. Well that's not right, because although the "height" of the shiny area changes gradually, it should be completely shiny as soon as we're inside that area. By putting a 3 in the Blending value, I'm switch over to Glossy 3 times more quickly than the map value would otherwise do.
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)
