 An anisotropic map is a texture that controls the shape of the specular highlights from real-time lights, often used for hair shading. Anisotropic highlights are characterized by long directional strokes, instead of the typical circular shape.
-The texture is very similar in concept to a [[Normal map|normal map]], except instead of controlling surface normals, it stretches the specular highlight in specific directions across the surface.
