The [[model-combined effect]] shader have '''replaced''' the separate reflection shaders. | |||
The separate reflection shaders should be considered '''deprecated''' and '''should not be used for new development'''.}} | |||

Later it had been enhanced by a [[Howto: Use the normal map effect in aircraft|normal map]]. This makes the surface appear "bumpy" depending on the used normal map. The alpha channel of the normal map also defines the specularity of the surface. This shader works only on UV-mapped surfaces! | |||

This is a simple and quick method for the simple ReflectionShader, but gives not the freedom to change the later appearance of the aircraft like setting the strength of the reflection or choosing a different cubemap. | This is a simple and quick method for the simple ReflectionShader, but gives not the freedom to change the later appearance of the aircraft like setting the strength of the reflection or choosing a different cubemap. | ||
