  • Getting reflection without an environment?

    I’ve constantly tried and tried again, I want to simulate reflection without using an environment but I can’t figure out how. I’m Using Cinema 4D R16. Any advice?

    Use the material>environment channel.

    Ohh, is that what that does? Simulates an environment for the material?

    Yep, it essentially maps the texture to a virtual sphere and then reflects it back on the object. Much faster than real reflections.
