Just adding this here since it's kind of related, but I realized today that the green portion of the Mog gun actually has a basic reflection map texture applied to it.

What's kind of interesting is that there are actually multiple textures that get swapped out depending on what location you're carrying the weapon in. It's very basic, but still I didn't expect them to put so much detail into something most people likely won't notice. I suggest using right click > view image to see these in full size.


Inside a Mist style apartment room you can see it's reflecting what appears to be an empty Mist style room. Of course it doesn't reflect my actual furniture - that would be pretty insane - so it's just an empty room template texture.


Inside a Glade style cottage it reflects an empty Glade style room. All these aren't static textures too, if you pan the camera around the gun it actually warps quite realistically.


This is what you see outdoors in Mist. It's hard to see from a low res screenshot but it's actually using a night sky texture, you can just make out some clouds on the right edge of the glass.
