Hello! I am try to composite a veichle (similar to a spaceship) in a real environment, I imported my image as an image plane in maya and I imported the model. The spaceship has a metallic surface, so I was wondering, what is the best way to make the real environment to be reflected into the model's surface. I don't know if my question is clear: in a few words I want to see the real environment reflected in the object. I have no idea of how to do it, do I have to do it in maya or after effects? (the software I'm using to composite this scene), thank you.
