Wow.
frenchgamer, your not suppopsed to modify other peoples work without permission.

Guess you like dirty balls instead of clean ones.
If you wanted to actually reduce the shine, which is the light reflecting off the ball, search the forums for a lighting file tutorial. with that you can completely take the light reflection off the ball.
You can find my balls in the download section

The spots are so small on the real ball that you would barely see them in live if I made them to scale. You can't even see the spots in the screenshots he posted which aren't as far away as when you play a game. My ball is close to the real color. The only thing is the spots have alot of contrast to bring out the detail when playing, thats what makes it look darker.
