| A rendering technique that creates an illusion of mirror-like reflections on the surface of objects. Environment mapping may simulate both the reflections of a surrounding environment lying at some remote distance from the objects being rendered and inter-object reflections. Environment mapping is also known as reflection mapping and is view-dependent. | |||||
