There's a tutorial somewhere around here, or you could google 'specular and color maps' and get your results there.

I heard somewhere that the best way to start is juggling 2 balls with one hand, so you will get a feel for it.

It's pretty confusing at first, but play around with it and it'll get easier.

Re: Shiney Textures <3 please help !
I'm not too sure what you expect though, like I said, it's pretty complicated at first glance. I learnt about normal, spec and cosine maps from those tutorials, so anyone can really. Give it another read, experiment and ask questions.

Re: Shiney Textures <3 please help !
I just read the tutorials and it makes sense to me.
Take your original color map texture and duplicate it.
The specular color map adds the color of light reflected. So if you have a red car, the light reflected will be white with a tint of red.
The cosine power map is how shiny you want each section. Black = matt (no reflection) White = Very shiny. So, again if you an object that has both a combination of metal and plastic, the metal sections will reflect more light than the plastic, so you colour those black and white (grey).
