Py5Shape.set_specular()

Py5Shape.set_specular()#

Sets the specular color of a Py5Shape object’s material, which sets the color of highlight.

Examples#

example picture for set_specular()

def setup():
    py5.size(100, 100, py5.P3D)
    py5.background(0)
    py5.light_specular(255, 255, 255)
    py5.directional_light(204, 204, 204, 0, 0, -1)
    py5.no_stroke()
    s = py5.create_shape(py5.SPHERE, 20)

    s.set_specular("#FFFFFF")
    py5.shape(s, 50, 25)
    s.set_specular("#CC6600")
    py5.shape(s, 50, 75)

Description#

Sets the specular color of a Py5Shape object’s material, which sets the color of highlight. This is part of the material properties of a Py5Shape object.

The specular parameter can be applied to the entire Py5Shape object or to a single vertex.

This method can only be used for a complete Py5Shape object, and never within a Py5Shape.begin_shape() and Py5Shape.end_shape() pair.

This method has additional color functionality that is not reflected in the method’s signatures. For example, you can pass the name of a color (e.g. “green”, “mediumpurple”, etc). Look at the online “All About Colors” Python Ecosystem Integration tutorial for more information.

Underlying Processing method: PShape.setSpecular
