Angular maps are fun and easy. They look great and make you feel like you are in the scene when the camera moves.

ok i was able to do it
i was looking for help in the IRC chat
so five guys ware helping me :smiley:

what i didnt understand that i need to select both layer
and put the plane in layer 2

also there is a bug i see was fixed and version 2.9 RC3 (white dots around the sphere reflection)

so what i did was
placing the plane on Layer 2
select both layers
an “Map input” select relf
on “map to” , select col ,cmir ,ref

at EnvMap
set “CubeRes” to 1000
and select dont render layer 2

thank u all

i change the sphere to red color

but it does not show on plane as red ?

can you explain how to do that ?

Thanks

just try it before replying

yes ,
in the EnvMap texture
did u free the data “Free Data” ?

remember ,
the advantage of EnvMap that it calculate the reflection only once (in static / image mode) before rendering .
so u have to free the last EnvMap before rendering changes

10

what do you mean by freeing the data?

i mean which data are you talking about ?

and how do you do that ?

Thanks

Select your plane
go to “Texture buttons” (F6)
on “texture” select your EnvMap texture

on EnvMap
press the “Free Data” button
or “Free All EnvMaps” i case that u have more object’s with an EnvMap texture
and u want to free data for all of them ,
this i just a short cut , for not going manually to all EnvMap textures
and pressing the “Free Data” button
