OK so i fixed the wrong orientation in the reflections while i had a spare bit of time. They definitely look a lot better now, theres ONE tiny little thing left to do. Theres seaming from this technique which is normal, but for some reason theres a wrong seam elsewhere. I know where, just will take some more time to fix. For now, some better images :

Thanks to SteelStyle who write a nice HDR Image format loader i was able to throw in a quick HDR lit environment map, which i can test with and adapt easily for use in the game. Some other cool things is i keep going round in circles with the reflection. First its upside down, but the right way round. Then its the right way but horizontally wrong etc. I only tried a couple brute force values but ill fix it whenever i get around to thinking on it again. For now, some more in game eye candy.
