Well, someone has finally done it… quasi-real reflections and shadows in Papervision3d. While this is only an experimental test done by the blogger Andy Zupko, it’s a great step towards better visuals in the engine. Now if only PV3D was 10 times faster and fixed z-sorting issues. ><

If you haven’t heard, Roxik has developed a new 3D engine that also includes physics! Very cool stuff here…
