    Default Problems with reflection

    Hi there, everyone!

    I want to create a chrome-like-shader with a reflection-map.

    So I put a gray texture in its texturelist like this:
    gMy3dScene.shader("Metall").texturelist[1]=gMy3dScene.texture("texGrau")

    and a reflection-texture onto the second layer:
    gMy3dScene.shader("Metall").texturelist[2]=gMy3dScene.texture("texReflektion
    ")
    gMy3dScene.shader("Metall").textureModeList[2]= #reflection

    This is kind of working (the reflection changes) if the object with the
    assigned shader is moving.
    But nothing happens if the object is static and the camera is moving around
    this object.
    Which is not good, because this is what I want ...

    Its not possible to keep the camera on its place and move the object around,
    because there are too many other objects in the scene. (I also need to have
    their WorldTransform-Position unchanged for other reasons.)

    Is there any way to solve this problem?

    Thanks for your help.
    Holger

    What about creating your own camera dependant reflection system on your
    model by changing the first or third texture layer transform by hand ?

    Thanks for this tip, Karl.
    This should work, IŽll check that out.
    I just hoped there would be an easyer way... ;-)
