when i enter game mode the effect of reflection spheres dissapear. I also feel that the overal quality of materials lighting is also affected (not sure about that though).
In the attached pictures the reflection difference is very obvious.
If you press ‘G’ in the viewport, do you see the same difference?
If so, you’ve disabled specular or the reflection environment in the viewport. You could go through the options in the Show tab to find it, or hit “Reset Viewport” which will enable everything put you back in editor mode. You can press ‘G’ again to make sure it changed back.
no that wont do anything, it has something to do with the setting provided from the arcvhiz category (Im using 4.24 version) , since i migrated my project to a conventional first person game category the absence of reflections in that case appear both in game edit modes .
That shouldnt occur. Also, use box reflections in square/rectangle rooms. It will look less distorted thats the reason for it to exist.
Thanks for the tip Bits360 , i will try to use that from now on. I found a solution to my problem i dont know if its the correct way to do so though… what i did is i set r.environmentreflection to a value of 1 during game mode. I did that before btw but nothing happened , but after i rebuild my lighting it worked. The difference between the two lighting builds its that at the first one i replaced all of my meshes with a simple white material, in the second build i left all of the original materials untouched.
Btw, still usually use sphere captures, but in this one single case, you want to use a box.
