If any one has any useful tips for creating reflections. I’ve seen some lovely scenes made by the Dreams community.

    The general idea is to fake refelctions by dublicating and mirroring a scene/ object along a certain axis. The mirror surface is often indicated by something like a text gadgets that is dimming/ coloring the perception of the pseudoreflection a bit as if it was seen through a mirror or a water surface.
    With moveable objects you have to go more into depth with logic to dublicate and mimic mirrored movements of possible characters or moving objects.

    Great answers

    I'm confused... this is a forum for telling us your tips and tricks. The How Do I? forum is for asking questions. Right? Am I going mad? XD

    Yes, this would be better in the How Do I forum.

    For what it's worth, unless a video game is using ray tracing techniques, reflections are almost always achieved by adding a second, inverted version of the original visuals to a scene. So if you want a reflective mirror, you have to place an identical copy of the scene behind the mirror, flipped left-to-right.

    Thanks all. I’ve moved to How do I. I deliberated over where it should go.
