Bitmap Reflection for clouds?

[gallystops]

I was talking with a few colleagues of mine and we were trying to get a cloud reflection directly onto the reflection layer. This would help eliminate relying on the bg for the reflection.

Anyone try to achieve this? I typically do it in photoshop..but some people in other offices do not know how.

Re: Bitmap Reflection for clouds?

In the Maps section of the material settings, set the Reflection map to be whatever bitmap you want to have show up in your reflection. This will override the material's environment texture for the reflection layer. (or I'm wrong and I apologize for the misinformation... I was just trying to take a break from this bug I'm working on fixing at the moment)
