JohnK Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Not so much a question as an answer I hope. Scroll down to the bottom if you want to get to the important bit about how to do it. Very slowly I am putting together a BJS Guide as a companion to the official documentation and working on materials I came across reflectionTextures and MirrorTextures.and got well lost. With some help from @Deltakosh I sort of got it for coordinatesMode and started on mirrors and couldn't make them work. So after a search or two I found @Luaacro 's book , @JCPalmer 's and @dbawel 's discussion All very useful but I knew I had to sort out mirrors for my own satisfaction. First I needed to know if the reflection was as far behind the mirror as the object was in front, set I set up the construction of a rod from the object to where the reflection should be then I set out to play with mirrors until it worked. Finally after three days I think I have cracked it (so forgive me for a little joy and the post) http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1YAIO7#3 HERE BE CRACKED MIRRORS Hopefully this will be useful for others - the important bit - the explanation lies with the guide http://babylonjsguide.github.io/advanced/Reflect The guide is in early days of construction so not much there at the moment but it is something I can give back to BJS, et al. jerome, adam, gryff and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Why is the sphere not visible in the mirror at this camera angle? http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1YAIO7#6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Looks like it was the light source being too intense combined with the alpha of the mirror. http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1YAIO7#7 JohnK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
