| Hi!! I try to make a beautiful reflection water using Cube environment mapping. But I've got few problem concernig this FX. Is someone know how it could be integrated into blitz3D. Thanks. |

| Well the problem you're having with this FX is that Blitz doesn't ( yet ) support Cube environment mapping. It's been requested ( many, many times ) and I think it would be a very useful feature, but I don't see any practical way of emulating it. I mean you're talking about placing a camera where the water is, rendering to that camera and multi-texturing the water with the view you just rendered. In essence. I think there's some stuff in the code archives about mirrors/reflections to give you a rough idea, but it's not really a replacement for cube environment mapping because you take a big speed hit. The wonderful thing about cube environment mapping is that it's lightning fast. |

| then you missed the awesome cubic environment mapping demos by JPL. |

| where is the code of his CEM (cubic ...)? I e mail to him but I have no answer! |
