showing the HDRI reflections in the viewport?

[Kinetic99]

Hello and thanks for your time,

I was wondering if there was a quick way to show the HDRI environment reflection map and have the objects reflecting it in the scene all in the viewport, with no rendering??
I just thought it might be a fast way to preview my scene as I translate and rotate the objects and see how the reflections of the object change in the actual scene.

In order to see the Environment Reflections in the viewport you have to:

1.Enable Reflection from Environment option from Viewport Configuration window:

2.Set Viewport Background to Environment Background and plug the HDRI map into the Environment Slot:

3.Select Realistic Materials with Maps from the following menu:
