TodCast #9: Environment Maps, Tips and Tricks

kelly — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:44:08 +0000

I saw a question on the 3DVIA Composer user forum the other day about modifying environment maps. In Composer, an environment map is used more as a reflection map than a full imaged based lighting map. Think of it as a virtual sphere that an image is mapped onto and the image is then reflected back in your materials. The reflection will vary depending on many of the attributes in the actual material chosen but by changing the map you can vary your reflections. Since modifying the maps may not be completely obvious, I figured that it would make a great idea for a TodCast. With that in mind, here are a few tips and tricks that might help to get just that reflection you are looking for.
