Specular Exponent

The size of the specular highlight spot depends on the value of the patch and surface object's SpecularExponent property. Typical values for this property range from 1 to 500, with normal objects having values in the range 5 to 20.

This illustration shows a red sphere illuminated by a white light with three different values for the SpecularExponent property.
