Does anyone know of a way to simulate reflections accuratley? I believe the displace plugin should help with this but the manual is a little lacking in examples of how to use it! Or im thick?!
Quick description.
I have a flow setup that that contains a spinning car that is supposed to be sitting on a shiny showroom floor. The car needs to change colour so I have setup multiple passes in MAX to allow me to change the colour of the car wihtout chaning the reflection or spec properties. This works well.
However the car needs to be reflected in the floor and the reflection will need to change colour as the car does. In MAX i cannot produce a reflection pass that shows the cars reflection in the floor wohtout containing the current car colour. This is why I need to fake it.
I have tried using transform etc but the results are not good. Then I read on the Eyeon site that Displace could be used for this effect but the manual doesnt explain iots use very well!
I think that covers it. Sorry for waffling.
