It was inevitable. Someone is playing with reflective surfaces on skin in the First Look viewer. :D

Actually folks, no, this is not the First View mirroring effect that another thread reported on the pants clothing layer. This is all good old fashioned lighting and materials baking. I have not been able to see the mirroring effect on the avatar yet even though I have tried out the First View client. Is it full coverage?

This skin was constructed using the image in the background, so that is why the abstract reflections look natural in this scene. Put this skin in another environment and the effect is not as impressive (one of the things that dynamic reflections can overcome).
