I looked for one in the library but did not find. Post by parva // May 18, 2007, 7:38am parva Total Posts: 822 At the dx material library is a mirror shader made by noko. There realtime don't use raytracing it isn't possible to achieve true reflections. The only way would be to fake it, with scripting or via cube mapping where a cubic environment map simulate the reflection. Currently tS don't support cube mapping.

Post by parva // May 18, 2007, 8:38am parva Total Posts: 822 No fake, it's render to texture. Means you can use a camera and reflect this to a texture map. The problem is that currently just a camera object can be used as "recorder". This makes it difficult to use for materials but indeed this would work if render to texture and cube maps could be combined.
