[Bf-committers] Environment Map Rendering

[pete larabell]

Jai,

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what exactly you want, but it seems to me
you are really asking about reflections, and not environment maps.
Env. Maps are exactly as their name suggests, maps. They are simply
images, 2d, that are used as textures with specially crafted UV
coordinate generation to make them look like they are reflections. An
env. map doesn't actually reflect anything from the scene at all,
volumetric or not.

Can you perhaps send URL an example .blend file that clearly
illustrates what you are doing now, along with a complete description
of what you'd like it to do in the future?

fyi, I'm not saying I have time to implement another new feature, I'm
just hoping further clarification will help you find someone who has
time to do so.

Cheers!
Peter
