easy reflection addition for the modders out there

Take a look at the hood, top of the truck, and windows in the before and after videos. Both videos were taken without ENB. It is a simple addition to any mod and makes it look a lot better than stock. I can explain the process later, but I'm tired now lol.

Don't mind my mod, I am not done with it.

It is a bit hard to tell in the fraps videos, but the second one has sky reflections on all the surfaces.

Looks like enb series to me with reflections on low. Reflections are only a texture that shine when the light hits them. Only way i can actually think of doing this is using a cloud texture as the reflection texture. Textures don't reflect stuff in gta sa.

After


So which texture are you using to make those refelctions?

I assure you it's not ENB....sigh...I'll go grab another video...


EDIT: here are some more videos proving it is not ENB. First vid: without reflection modification, both ENB off and on. Second vid is with reflection mod and ENB off then switched on. Unlike ENB, the reflection mod doesn't cause lag. It is a simple addition to the txd and dff (at least in zmodeler it is).

What texture are you using, send away cause if you can do it then i can do it. Which modeling software do you use?

Its just a reflection map tga that I snagged from another mod, and I use zmodeler. I can send the file in xfire if you add me.
