$envmap

The $envmap VMT parameter causes the material surface to reflect the nearest env_cubemap.

Basic VMT Syntax

"$envmap" "env_cubemap"

• AFAIK this is currently the only use of $envmap.

Additional Parameters

Adjust overall reflection color & contrast

$envmapcontrast

"$envmapcontrast" float

• Scales the dynamic range of the reflected env_cubmap.
• Use higher contrasts to diminish relatively darker areas, increase "hot spots".
• contrast 0 == normal 1 == color*color.

$envmapsaturation

"$envmapsaturation" float

• Scales the colour intensity of the $envmap.
• saturation 0 == greyscale 1 == normal

$envmaptint

"$envmaptint" "[float float float]"

• Scales the red, green, and blue components of the $envmap.

Specular masking

$envmapmask

"$envmapmask" "texture"

• Masks the $envmap according to the alpha channel of the named "texture".

$basealphaenvmapmask

"$basealphaenvmapmask" 1

• Masks the $envmap according to the alpha channel of the $basetexture.

$normalmapalphaenvmapmask

"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" 1

• Masks the $envmap according to the alpha channel of the $bumpmap.

$envmapmaskscale

"$envmapmaskscale" float

• Scales the $envmapmask by the float value.
