Shininess

Shininess

In rendering, the intensity of the shiny attribute of a surface. For example, a wet fish has a shinier surface than a dry leaf.

In animations, surfaces reflect light in different ways depending on their shininess. The Blinn material is preferable for shiny surfaces in animations. Highlights on other specular materials, like Phong and PhongE, may flicker when animated.
