Final touch for the visuals of the MSA2 characters. I've brought over the vertex colours used on the Unleashed eyeboard mesh to MSA2 through a texture. Meshes with vertex colours can't react to light and use an environment map. I overlayed the reflection to achieve this look.

So this replicates how Sonic Colours does the fresnel thing. One spherical env map for the body, one for the skin. I toned down the intensity by making 'em transparent. I also duped the meshes so this would work properly. No more flat models! Thank you @iulian2043 for the idea 🤝
