In Response To: Re: Gadzooks (Razz) : im gettin more and more cusios about those mirrors too... =) Mirrors are generally tricky to render, so that's why we haven't seen many of them. However, I do remember seeing mirrors in Duke Nukem 3D, and they worked by creating mirror-image copies of the objects on one's side of the mirrors; they needed space on the other side of the mirror for those objects. In more recent engines, mirrors can be done by moving the viewpoint to the mirror-image position, rendering, and then rendering with the normal viewpoint position. One challenge is to rendering only the mirror area itself. That can be done with a Stencil Buffer, which one renders with that area; the buffer is then used to control which pixels are allowed to get to the frame buffer.
