INTRO

I have created a workflow for using animated cube maps to bake reflections into SFM.

Guide forthcoming. For now here is a preview of the results:

A few things to keep in mind:

This is a high effort system that should be used sparingly.

In many situations reflections via RT camera is still a better choice. this is best for reflective objects where it is not a flat panel.

The workflow is very tedious but I've had chatgpt whip up some programs that make it faster, will share those in the guide when it is finished.
