Hi !
I don't know if this subject already was covered but i wanted to share a TIP I recently discovered:
What I wanted was a specularity effect like this one:

You can use this very basic specularity (reflection in fact) function in lumion doing this:
add a standard material with an ALPHA chanel (TARGA with white color reflective and black opaque as if you wanted to do an opacity alpha). Then if you don't turn it to "clip" and add some refletivity then it will act like a reflection/specular Map...
Caution: using bump JPG's kill the effect but you can use Normal maps...
Simple effect:

With normal Map Bump:

I hope it might be usefull... See you !
