-A '''Specular Material''' is one of Rockstar's [[List of RW section IDs#Rockstar.27s_Custom_Sections|custom sections]]. In [[GTA San Andreas]] it is used to store material information for specular lighting.

-The Specular Material section is exclusive to San Andreas and Manhunt. To use a specular material, the rendering pipeline that is responsible for rendering the object must support specular materials. This is true by default for vehicles, but not for buildings. To hook specularity into the rendering pipeline, the [[Pipeline Set (RW Section)|pipeline]] extion for the geometries [[Atomic (RW Section)|atomic]] needs to be changed.

-The Specular Material section is exclusive to San Andreas and Manhunt. In San Andreas, the use is further limited to vehicles; putting a Specular Material extension on a building object will not yield the same results. This section can also be found in Manhunt files, but it's not used by game engine.

+On the PC and Xbox versions of the game a specular texture is not used. On the PS2 however, it is used as a second reflection map. The string is null terminated, and aligned to 4 byte boundaries with extra zeros appended.
