Reflection effect

[Filipe]

Basicly a tool or a paintFX that could add a bit of reflection on things like a vehicle for example, so we could have matte, metallic or chrome vehicles

The reflection could reflect the skybox like most of the games do before real-time reflections was implemented, also I've seen some fail-binned or unfinished old add-ons that had some reflection on, I believe it's due to the lack of textures? Not sure, but there was this star wars vehicle which had a bit of reflection AND textures

YES PLEASE

We really need this!

Wasn't pearl or chrome some artifact of reflection

Well yes I believe

[Champion]

Well yes I believe

would be cool if the vehicles could have the pearl or chrome/other FXs on it but i dont think thats possible

This used to be a thing before shadows and shaders, Milkshape 3D's Torque DTS Plus exporter has an option for the intensity of environment mapping, which would reflect the skybox texture, but i haven't been able to get it working

Not sure if it disagrees with transparent textures or colorable models or if it just doesn't work at all

What, how is that even related to reflection.

i think it still works but only with shaders off  :(

edit: nvm doesnt work anymore

I don't think you can do this anymore. Somewhere in coding help is a post explaining why (I think it was ephi) but I can't find it right now.

[Threule]

First we'll need non-texture forced FX, so we can have better ones, then this will come

[Abstath]

I doubt this would be possible, especially on vehicles.
But if it were to be possible, there could be a new column for this with intensities.

Matte
Light
Normal
High
Chrome
Mirror

[Renderman]

Chrome

Uhhhh don't we already have chrome?
