Making Realtime water shaders ?

[bigsnake]

Is it possible to make a material that actually reflects just aswell as refracts ? This is an effect I see lacked in many games, they use a interior image that reflects an image

anyway, can water that reflects the environment be done ?

They show how to create a fluid surface reflecting the environment

This is a water material I've been working on lately, it's still not finished and this video is quite a few stages back, nevertheless it shows that what you want can be done.

btw, I have a problem, with the cubemap actor setup with the texturetocubemap or whatever its called, the image for the cubemap actor is center of the actor and not full and when I set up the water reflection it only displays to one side :/

Here is a screenie of what I mean :
