Re: New Car Shaders, Door Handles and Wing Mirrors

I'm Sorry, I don't want to be the only one here with something negative to say - but when the car is viewed from above, is the reflection on the window a magnified view of the platform it's sitting on?
I doesn't look like a reflection, more like you can see through the car.
That might be because creating a true reflection is very hard to program (I know from the Driver San Francisco game, that the rear view mirror was actally a magnified view of what was in front!).

Hmm. Not sure if it was broken in that version, but I know for sure that it reflects correctly in the current version. Reflections aren't really all that hard, I suspect that we just made a mistake assigning the correct sides of the cubemap in that version

so wing mirrors = side mirrors I take it. America and Aussie land, two people separated by a common language.

Automatics are for women and the disabled, they don't call it a MANual for nothing.
