Make it shine!
May 27, 2009, 01:52 AM Garin Gardiner
Out of the box, Inventor uses a default reflection map that looks good but there are a few other choices that look even better. Lets take a quick look at some additional options that you might like better than the default and perhaps even dig around the Internet for additional options. Inventor is set to use the ParkingLot.dds file for its reflection setting.
This looks good although in my mind it is a little too shiny. To make this look more like a dull reflection, you can access the application options and change the reflection map. If you are using Inventor 2010, select the Tools tab and select Application Options. You probably already have a preferred Color Scheme you like with the default color or image for a background. You can also select a Reflection Environment by selecting the browse icon and selecting something like Chrome.dds (my favorite) to get a little different reflection.
You can even search around the internet a little to look for other dds files to use for reflection maps that you might like better than what we supply with Inventor.
