Hi. I've noticed that these two options (shine & size) are present in Zmod 1.07d (in material editor, above opacity).

What they do?
Do they affect mm2 cars?
What is the best position for they?

Sorry for this many questions. :oops:

Those options are related with the materials look in ZModeler, but they, together with other materials options, don't affect in any way in the case of exporting the .pkg files for MM2. You can just leave them as they are by default or as they get after have imported a model, for example.

It doesn't. I tried that in my earlier models. ;) Sadly, it doesn't work.

It works for me.
You can control the glass transparency with it.

I've fixed the post because clearly you meant the Opacity value, as called in ZModeler's Material Editor. That's indeed the only material setting that does changes exporting the .pkg file, and that's add transparency to the material. If as material Type is set Unused, the transparency isn't visible in ZModeler, but it'll always work exporting as .pkg file; to see it in ZModeler must be set Glowing as material Type.
With the Maxoff's PKG filter the set of Unused or Glowing material type allows to disable or enable the in-game reflections for that material, having so a second material setting that does changes speaking about .pkg files exporting; this is only for vehicles exporting.

Discussion closed.

I was talking about this value too. ;)
But carking1996 said it doesn't work for him, so my answer was directed to him. But maybe he was talking about some other thing.
