@Nerdsbeware

I totally thought the same thing!

I get what OP means though, I’ve struggled with this ever since I started using PBR workflows, especially on flat surfaces like dirt and grass. I’ll usually just lower the specular value in the material but I know that’s not correct.

Does anyone have more info on what @Deathrey Mentioned regarding a compensatory factor based on roughness? Is this something that could be done at the material level or would shader code need modified?

@Raildex

^ Deathrey probably means to increase Roughness/ decrease Specular with Fresnel, so edges do not receive any/ receive less specularity

Nope, that can’t be done on material editor level. Modifications need to happen in shader files, wherever fresnel term is evaluated.
