Everything about Reflection mapping
Technique in computer graphics to represent reflective surfaces
In computer graphics, reflection mapping or environment mapping is an efficient image-based lighting technique for approximating the appearance of a reflective surface by means of a precomputed texture. The texture is used to store the image of the distant environment surrounding the rendered object. Wikipedia →
