Just keep the specular in a small range, drop the extra lights, and use a low‑poly base mesh. I always bake the glossy into a matcap and swap that for the heavy reflection maps. That way the GPU only does a simple lookup, and I can still have that glittering stage‑set without waiting a week for a render. And hey, who needs beige anyway?

Right, I’ll cut a light or two and maybe lower the resolution of that bump map, then everything will stay smooth. And absolutely, a stage that dazzles needs a rainbow of shiny curves—no beige ever again!
