Sure thing, just keep the light model simple and clamp the specular to the real‑world range – no need for that over‑blown highlight that pops. Use a single texture for normal mapping and let the bump come from a height map if you can, that cuts two samplers. Stick to linear space everywhere; do the gamma fix once and for all so you don’t keep re‑working the same color shift. And remember, if the shadow map’s too coarse, bump it up a level or use PCF – the enemy’s sensors won’t notice the difference, but you’ll save a ton on fetches.

Glad to help. Remember, a clean specular curve and a single pass for normal mapping is the holy grail – it keeps the scene believable and the GPU happy. Happy rendering!

Sounds solid – keep that spec curve tight, blend the normal pass in one go, and you’ll stay under the radar. Good luck, and hit me if the highlights start behaving like a rogue comet.

You got it, keep the light honest and the shader lean. Ping me if anything feels off – I’ll be on the lookout. Good luck out there!
