WOW! simple yet very useful! maraming salamat po!

First off, nice workaround.

But let me all tell you - First, reflections aren't effects, they are actually phenomenons.

What this tutorial does is map an image of a background and lower the opacity to show what's behind the object, in this case a curtain.

While this approach may work in this case - it is totally a waste of valuable ram when you can actually do the same thing via photoshop - you are just overlaying an image anyways!

What if the camera moves? What you'll have is an obvious image uvw mapped over a surface. Like a painting or decal over a transparent object.

The correct way to do it in 3D is to map the image in a planar surface infront of the glass object. That way, when you move the camera or animate it - it will act the same a real reflection does, it moves around the surface not with it.
