Hi all,

Is it possible in DBpro to use some sort of specific reflection mapping? For example, if I bring in a 3D model of a sword that is all one object, can I apply a reflection shader to JUST the blade of the sword using some sort of masking? Or does it need to be brought in as two separate object, or one object with limbs, or something?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks bluespark. I've never actually worked with limbs before. Do you know of any good tutorials to get me up to speed?

Limbs are easy, just make your model in two parts, and save it 3DS, or X. It will have two limbs. Basically cut your model in half.
