Why the bottles in Half-Life: Alyx look so dang good

quote [ The bottles are not transparent. But they look transparent, because Alyx is pulling the cube map for your approximate coordinates, and projecting that pre-baked image onto the side of the bottle you’re looking at. It shows you a distorted view of the space, but it’s a wild illusion that absolutely works. ]

Interesting deduction of shader fakes in simple English.

In that case I should mention that the priest isn't really a cannibal. I was just hoping that someone would read that last paragraph and think that they had missed some enormous plot point or side quest in the game.
