Well,
My question is if things like rocks and your surroundings are reflected of your shiny armor/visor. Aswell if the sun is dynamicaly reflected. I ask this because I got into an argument with some guy over whether or not things are reflected of your armor, I thought only BSP's could have real reflections? Am I right or not? Please anser ASAP, Thanks in advance. |

Nope. It's the reflection cubemap in armor.shader_model.

Planar surfaces on bsps are the only things allowed to have real time reflections. They can be controlled by the alpha in the diffuse bitmap. Reflections on a object not built into the bsp (or is, but not planar), uses a cubemap that is basically a rendered inside out box on the object that uses 6 different bitmaps to reflect images of that object.

whoever you were arguing with is wrong, you are right.
