| Hello to you one and all, I was wondering if it is possible to create the reflective map outside of Maya and how one would go about it to do so. best regards Alex |

| Hi Alex, What do you mean with outside of Maya? |

| Hi Christian, I was under the impression that the reflective map gets generated by maya as a part of the material properties. But judging by your question I guess that is not the case. I wasn't able to track any documentation regarding reflective material down. So if you could elaborate as to how does one go about to create a reflective map that would be great. regards Alex |

| The maya material properties (http://gdn.giants.ch/documentation_exporter.php#exporter_maya_material), only add the information to the i3d, that reflection maps should be generated. The actual map is generated in the engine. What you need to do, is adding a new node in your material: <Reflectionmap type="planar" refractiveIndex="1.3" bumpScale="0.1"/> So for a simple mirror you could use something like this: <Material name="planeReflectionMat" materialId="3" diffuseColor="1 1 1 1" cosPower="20" specularColor="0.5 0.5 0.5" ambientColor="1 1 1"> <Reflectionmap type="planar" refractiveIndex="1.3" bumpScale="0.1"/> </Material> |
