Hi, Is there a reflection pane in away 4? Didn’t saw any while looking into the as3 classes. Perhaps it’s named in another away? I saw that reflection is achieved through envmap which doesnt suit my needs ( I actually want to reflect the scene with dynamic objects in it. Any ideeas ?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

There is no such feature in the 4.0 version yet. A similar thing has been implemented before though, and tested in a demo, but hasn’t made it into the engine yet.

Thanks. I will leave out the reflection for now, hoping that the reflective pane will be implemented in the engine sometime soon (btw can you provide a link to the previous implementation - the one that didn’t make it into the engine - ?)
Kindest regards,
Alex

I don’t think the source is available anywhere, but there is a video where you can see it here: https://vimeo.com/30135275 (about 2 minutes into the video.) Basically it renders a cube map on the fly, and uses that for environment mapping, effectively getting real-time reflection in any direction.
