# Material Specular Workflow

Use specular color maps instead of metallic for non-PBR workflows

## Risk Level
**LOW**

## Core Rules
- Keep specular 0-1 range
- test under various lighting
- Test thoroughly before deploying

## Response Pattern

### When Using This Skill
1. Apply specular maps
2. Validate the implementation
3. Test edge cases and error conditions
4. Ensure performance meets requirements

## Usage Contexts
- Legacy materials
- specific workflows

## What NOT to Do
- Mixing with metallic workflow
- incorrect specular values
- Deploy without testing

## Key Requirements
- Understand the use cases before application
- Follow the documented response pattern
- Validate results in the target environment
- Monitor for performance impact
