Note that this needs to be converted to a format of XY only though (3dc)! The normal map for the material and uses the standard format rgb = xyz and is in tangent space.

 The specular map handles the specular intensity and power for each pixel. The intensity uses the R,G and B channel and the power in the Alpha channel. The specular map handles the specular intensity and power for each pixel. The intensity uses the R,G and B channel and the power in the Alpha channel.
 Intensity sets the amount of specularity (for each color channel) applied to a pixel, the higher value of the channel, the higher intensity. Intensity sets the amount of specularity (for each color channel) applied to a pixel, the higher value of the channel, the higher intensity.

 Height map is more like a depth map actually. White = largest depth, Black = no depth and this is important to remember when creating it. Height map is more like a depth map actually. White = largest depth, Black = no depth and this is important to remember when creating it.

 This map will be added additively on top of the model when rendering and will not be affected by lighting. It is useful for creating glowing surfaces such as lightbulb, ember, etc. This map will be added additively on top of the model when rendering and will not be affected by lighting.
