specular shine control(3ds max)

[buzz456]

I'm not quite up to Fifty Shades of Grey but I must have a dozen of them saved that I mess around with until I get the right "shineiness" and color when I paint. Like was said above there is a lot of trial and error when you first start out to get the look in game that you want.

You're looking at this the wrong way

You mentioned above that your alpha channel is full black. Try making a very dark greyscale version of your main texture and use that for the alpha channel. Full black will make things dull-looking.

Here's a small vid from youtube on the creation of a spec map to drop into your alpha channel, watch how it's done,,,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnvvGn9VhVU and adapt what you learn to your own diffuse map.

To get a result any where close to the pic you've posted you'll also need to do considerable work editing your normal map,,,there's no shortage of stuff on youtube or vimeo to help with this.

Go learn.
