How about Mesh reflect texture?

Hello. I want to know can TGEA take a reflect texture to a model?
like the car can reflect scene (like cube map texture).

Regard.

Thats what you use cubemap to fake.

But!
There is a way to make mirrors so it might be possible.

Remember that all dynamic reflections are very expensive(scene must be rendered few times). You can use Dynamic Cubemaps(like Caylo says) or planar reflections(only for DIFs and flat surfaces.. windows, mirrors etc.).
