Reflection Probe

The component is capturing surroundings of the scene to get reflections and to get ambient lighting data.

Overview

The component internally caches the image to get reflections fast. Reflection probe is a way to get projective reflections. The reflection is precalculated from a selected position in the scene. The component is also can be used to get data for ambient lighting (average environment lighting).

It can be combined with Reflection screen effect.

Real-time mode

The component can work in real-time mode. It also can be configured to update position in the scene to get best results.

Properties

Name	Description
Mode	The mode of the reflection probe.
Global	Whether to affect all scene instead of sphere volume.
Cubemap	The cubemap texture of reflection data used by the probe.
Rotation	The horizontal rotation of the cubemap.
Intensity	The factor of the probe effect.
Multiplier	A cubemap color multiplier.
Real Time	Whether to capture and pass the information in real-time.
