# CustomMaterial.Specular

An object that defines the specular highlights of an entity.

## Declaration

```swift
struct Specular
```

## Overview

Overview In physically based rendering (PBR), specular highlights primarily come from the object’s roughness value. RealityKit renders materials that have a low roughness value with specular highlights based on the environment, lighting, and shape of the entity. For more information on using specular values in a custom material, see specular.
