Gloss Map
  

Specular Gloss Map in Vanda Engine 1 is a a texture that controls the shape/power of the specular highlights from real-time lights. The higher the value of a pixel (from black to white), the shinier the surface will appear in-game. Therefore, surfaces such as dry stone or cotton fabric would tend to have a very dark specular map, while surfaces like polished chrome or plastic would tend to have lighter specular maps.
