Some things I've always wondered ...

Is there a way to add a image to the back of the view port for Reference and such. Maybe a plug-in can do this?

Also how do I make a plane reflective in a render.

Alt + B brings up the Viewport Background window. I don't know about renders.

Background image...

Alt + B like Seal said.

Reflections...

(this is one way to do it, not the only way)

M for your Materail Editor. Open the "MAPS" tab on the materail you want to be reflective. Check the box next to "REFLECTION". Now click on the "NONE" tab on the right side of "REFLECTION". Select "Raytrace. From there play with the raytrace options and tweak out the look.

If that weapon is really for Reborn, then that finally makes Reborn not even "based" on Tiberian Sun.

You can also "manually" reflect it if you don't know how.

The front iron sight is supposed to be single, not double like the rear iron sight.

(You (or nightcrawler) do plan on removing all of those unnecessary (for a game) grooves, right? Edit: Oh, and that grooved buttstock-like thing on the back of the gun souldn't be there)

Yes, manually, but why would you? Gmax can't render, unless you were to turn up both your AA and AF settings to high and manually model a reflection.

I know Quake 3 Arena does, and pretty much every FPS game made in the last few years.
