Reflection Probe Art Workflow

Bake Reflection Probe Workflow

• Create Reflection Probe nodes within the scene

• Find Reflection Probe Settings by scrolling down on the Inspector of the node where the reflection needs to be baked, and adjust its corresponding property to.

  

  • Reflection Probe: Select the type of reflection probe
  • Bake To Reflection Probe: Check whether to bake the reflection information of this mesh renderer to the reflection probe related map

  • Select Projects -> Light -> Reflection Probe on the main menu to open the Reflection Probe Panel and bake by clicking the bake button on the panel.

Real-time Reflection Probe Workflow

• Build the scene as shown in the figure.

  

• Create Reflection Probe nodes in the scene:

  • Modify Probe Type to PLANNAR
  • Configure the Source Camera property to be the Main Camera node created in the above step

  

• Modify the Reflection Probe of the MeshRenderer property of the Plane node in the scene to PLANNAR_REFLECTION.

  

• At this point it can be observed that within the scene, the reflection of the plane changes.
