Material PropertiesSpecular: This channel creates the highlights that appear on surfaces from reflected light. Some highlights are small and bright, like shiny metal, others are larger and duller like plastic.

Material PropertiesBump: This channel provides surface texture as most objects are not perfectly smooth. Bump requires a texture map or procedural shader of some sort. Darker areas can make an extrusion or depression on the surface.

Material PropertiesReflection: This will cause your object to show reflections of other objects on its surface.

Material PropertiesAlpha: An alpha channel works similar to a mask in photoshop; black will block the image (making it invisible) and white will reveal the image. Using black and white images on an alpha channel allows you to create holes in objects.
