Jonathan Williamson of CGCookie is back in this quick Blender 2.5 video tip we demonstrate how to easily fake reflections for objects when you do not have an environment around the object to reflect or do not wish to use raytracing.

Tip: Faking Reflections from CG Cookie on Vimeo.

“Here is a tutorial on how to setup fake realtime reflections inside Blender and how to enable GLSL shaders so that they can be displayed in the viewport and GameEngine!”
