BB, two questions

Q1 why did you pick Blinn in your proposed shader?

As I would be inclined to use Blinn for specular effects on porous, soft materials and Glossy (or KS_microfacet) on hard, smooth, nonporous stuff like glass.

Q2 what about your remarks on the Reflection slots in PoserSurface, what's wrong with them?

As I woud be inclined to use Value for reflectivity as long as Color has a 100% brightness and provides Hue/Saturation only (for metals, that is). And Value is just a multiplier to Color anyway (besides gamma which is affecting Color but not Value). No?

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
