It all began with a simple ReflectionShader, which simply adds a spherical map on the surface of the object. This shader works on not-UVmapped surfaces. Ideal for simple chrome parts. | It all began with a simple ReflectionShader, which simply adds a spherical map on the surface of the object. This shader works on not-UVmapped surfaces.

Later it had been enhanced by a [[Howto: Use the normal map effect in aircraft|Normalmap]]. This makes the surface appear "bumpy" depending on the used normalmap. The alpha channel of the normalmal also defines the specularity of the surface.

These shaders had been enhanced even more. You have now: reflections, normalmap and specularity map, dirt, lightmaps with 4 simulated lights per object in Default and [[Project Rembrandt|Rembrandt]]. In [[Atmospheric light scattering FAQ|ALS]] you will get in addition also a grain/ rain effect and the darkmap. This shader works only on UVmapped surfaces! | |||

The model-transparent.eff | The model-combined-transparent.eff has the same features but has the necessary changes to correctly support transparent objects which represents transparent surfaces like glass. | ||
