Hello, I found a topic earlier today and I tried my best to figure out to do whatever this person did with the eyes of my wolf, but I simply cannot get it to work.

This is the topic. Scrolling down, you can see that the eyes of this item are reflecting the environement, and I was wondering if it was possible to have the eyes of a preset do the same thing?

When i look closely i see the reflection appears to be drawn on the eyes themselves. If that is so, in a cave the eyes would still show that line of trees, which would not actually be there. Using the env_map spherical you can achieve something similar to reflection so if you had a picture of an environment that would fit most situation then yes, you can.
Just in case people reading this want to try it
{
receive_shadows off
technique
{
pass
{
lighting on
scene_blend alpha_blend
specular 0.5 0.5 0.5 1 128
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture Eyetextureofyourchoice.png
}
}
pass
{
lighting on
scene_blend alpha_blend
texture_unit
{
env_map spherical
texture semi-transparentReflection.png
}
}
}That's what i'd use anyway. Yours may differ.
Edit, made the mistake of using specular on my eyes once. When the eyes were closed the eyelids were shiny.

Thanks Kuri! (Why are you always the one to save my preset making? ;p)
You were right, using an own picture of a forest is what the person from the post did. I used your code (You did forget one } at the end, however.) and it looks really awesome! Makes the eye look pretty realistic.

There it is! If someone reads this and likes the treees I used, its: http://freebigpictures.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/forest-light.jpg
I do recommend removing the sky above the trees since it makes the colour of the eye a bit dull.
