I'm saving this description but could I see a screenshot of the nodes? This would help tremendously. I've got dyslexia and sometimes written descriptions do not make sense to me. Thanks so much for taking the time for this description. I've been having a terrible time with the specular in all current shader setups. It's just not realistic to me. It makes the figure look like she's been oiled up. I'm looking for a dry skin specular look and not having luck at it.
