Remarks

If set to True, this attribute causes the specularly reflected light to be the material color instead of the light source color, making the object seem more metallic.To further approximate a metallic material requires that specularity be relatively high (about 1.2) and diffusity be relatively low (about 0.6). The default value is False.
