I've been asked to post this question - anybody got any idea's?
I am using cube mapping to give a sense of water reflection in my game. To do this, I have to render 5 different views (front, back, left, right, down) to use as the water texture. In order to increase the frame rate, on each game loop I only render and update one of those views. This allows my game to stay at about 38 FPS, but it results in a choppy reflection. I have tried to actually render the 5 views each time through the game loop and the frame rate drops to 20 FPS. I just wanted to know if anyone has a better method for reflection.
