I am having a problem with Carrara suddenly.  Everything I try to render comes out shiny with distracting highlights.  This was not formerly the case, so I suspect I have screwed something up.  I have played with some of the shaders, and wonder if that could be it.  There seems to be a default shader and I am not certain whether that effects all surfaces.  The funny thing is, even clothing (which should not be reflective) now has shiny reflective highlights.  I have tried different lights, angles, shadow strength, all to no avail.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
