1. A multi purpose shows how much the shader would be applied to each part. For example, if you skin the banshee multi purpose all white. You banshee will be really shiny.
2. Just be good at it.

The multipurpose defines the levels of its four corresponding shader properties:
Red: Detail map strength
Green: Lightmap resistance/Glow strength
Blue: Cubemap amount/Shine factor
Alpha: Primary/Secondary detail map amout or special case colour change

Hope that explains it. :wink:
