Public Attributes
ReflectorDesc

float	detailAdjust
	Scale applied to lod calculation of objects rendering into this reflection ( modulates $pref::TS::detailAdjust ).
float	farDist
	Far plane distance to use when rendering reflections.
int	maxRateMs
	If less than maxRateMs has elapsed since this relfection was last updated, then do not update it again. This 'skip' can be disabled by setting maxRateMs to zero.
float	nearDist
	Near plane distance to use when rendering this reflection. Adjust this to limit self-occlusion artifacts.
int	objectTypeMask
	Object types which render into this reflection.
float	priority
	Priority for updating this reflection, relative to others.
int	texSize
	Size in pixels of the (square) reflection texture. For a cubemap this value is interpreted as size of each face.
bool	useOcclusionQuery
	If available on the device use HOQs to determine if the reflective object is visible before updating its reflection.

Detailed Description

A datablock which defines performance and quality properties for dynamic reflections.

ReflectorDesc is not itself a reflection and does not render reflections. It is a dummy class for holding and exposing to the user a set of reflection related properties. Objects which support dynamic reflections may then reference a ReflectorDesc.

Example:

datablock ReflectorDesc( ExampleReflectorDesc )
{
   texSize = 256;
   nearDist = 0.1;
   farDist = 500;
   objectTypeMask = 0xFFFFFFFF;
   detailAdjust = 1.0;
   priority = 1.0;
   maxRateMs = 0;
   useOcclusionQuery = true;
};
