a while ago before maya5 came out i rotated my character and i noticed the env map on him was updating in the viewport, using 4.5.

i dont know if i did anything or not, but i tried in this 5 and the texture just is baked on i guess is a way of describing it. i dont get taht update anymore anyone know if i have to turn something on?

I`m just guessing...

Although it is obsolote since 4.5 go to your shape node > under object display try to check environment map texture.

If testet this with Maya 5.
Simple sphere and an image on the reflection Map.

environment map texture @ the shape node is enable.
it didn't works

Another idea.

Which env map are you using?

ball, sphere, cube?

Automatic updating when tumbling (and other features) works only with Env Ball and Env Cube.

(in 4.5)

oh hehe, now I'm trying the ENV sphere.
I can see refl. Map but the viewport show's not the same position, as the Renderview.

A|W has so much to do with the OpenGL view :(((
