http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Ramp_Shaders.348.0.html Material color and specular now can be defined by a Colorband. The actual color then is defined during shading based on: - shade value (like dotproduct) - energy value (dot product plus light) - normal - result of all shading (useful for adding stuff in the end) Special request from [A]ndy! :)
