Re: [Bf-committers] Environment Map Rendering

Jai,

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what exactly you want, but it seems to me
you are really asking about reflections, and not environment maps.
Env. Maps are exactly as their name suggests, maps. They are simply
images, 2d, that are used as textures with specially crafted UV
coordinate generation to make them look like they are reflections. An
env. map doesn't actually reflect anything from the scene at all,
volumetric or not.

Can you perhaps send URL an example .blend file that clearly
illustrates what you are doing now, along with a complete description
of what you'd like it to do in the future?

fyi, I'm not saying I have time to implement another new feature, I'm
just hoping further clarification will help you find someone who has
time to do so.

Cheers!
Peter

Hi Pete, I am talking about generating environment maps from a blender 
scene, not using one as part of an existing scene. And in my case, I am 
using it to create a sky box. Perhaps you can suggest a better term, I 
thought environment map rendering was rather straight forward. 
Currently, volumetric objects do not appear on the texture when 
generating the environment map. Does that clear things up?
