very cool, thats exactly what i meant, thank you!
It works nicely... is there a parameter that controls the amount in this code? how could I get subtle changes?
This would work VERY well on high poly cars...
Here is my working code:

Code:

---

 bmap bmp_envcube2 = <enviromap.tga>;



// generate a matrix that transforms camera space back to world space

function mtl_env_view()

{

  mat_set(mtl.matrix,matViewInv);

// reset the translation part of the matrix

  mtl.matrix41 = 0;

  mtl.matrix42 = 0;

  mtl.matrix43 = 0;

}



function mtl_env_init()

{

  bmap_to_cubemap(mtl.skin1);

  mtl.event = mtl_env_view;

  mtl.enable_view = on;

}



material mtl_envcube2 // environment cube

{

  skin1 = bmp_envcube2;

  event = mtl_env_init;



effect=

"

	texture mtlSkin1;

	texture texSkin1;

	matrix matMtl;

	technique cubic_environment 

	{     

		pass p0 

		{

			Texture[0]=<texSkin1>;

			Texture[1]=<mtlSkin1>;

			ColorArg1[0]=Texture;

			ColorOp[0]=Modulate2x;

			ColorArg2[0]=Diffuse;



			ColorArg1[1]=Texture;

			ColorOp[1]=AddSigned;

			ColorArg2[1]=Current;



			AddressU[1]=Clamp;

			AddressV[1]=Clamp;

			TexCoordIndex[1]=CameraSpaceReflectionVector;

			TextureTransformFlags[1]=Count3;

			TextureTransform[1]=<matMtl>;

		}

	}

";



}



action shaders_A6_envcube2

{

my.material = mtl_envcube2;

}
