Specular Coefficient
The specular coefficient is a luminosity texturemap that is applied over the visible texturemap on one or more polygons of an object, and contains a greyscale grid for use by raycasting or raytracing algorithms, to tell the renderer how much light that pixel will absorb, and how much it will reflect.
