    Thank you so much! I had no idea the Z axis affected reflection probes. Also, if some of you are getting a weird half reflection, turn your probe 90° right or left.

    this was awesome! I tried two other mirror tutorials and failed. This was the first time I succeeded. It was the turn the reflection probe's X arrrow away from mirror's shiny surface that did the trick. thank you so much!

    I would like to mention to make the mirror probe larger (wider and taller) than the reflective surface, maybe about a quarter length of the probe on all edges. Otherwise you will have "stretch" distortion along the edges.

      Hi, can you please tell me how do i get the PBR/Blinn-Phong/Media options in Texture tab of the edit menu. I am using the latest SL viewer and FS viewer and changed the settings by activating mirror and 'Select Reflection probes' I still dont see these options in the edit menu.

      the sl did well and did these amazing upgrades but the users are not ready for this....cause they still use crap computers to play sl.....all depends about each user's computer performance....same thing happens 10 years ago when the windlight happens in sl....maybe 10 years later then every computer have better performance so everyone able to use mirrors

    The new version is VERY VERY HEAVY EVEN FOR MY GRAPHICS CARD, Please make it less graphic or add ONLY THE EMOJIS to the previous version. or launch an installer for the emojis in the previous version please, or the option of being able to deactivate all those options that many people do not need or want, and only want the EMOJIS,
    I would really appreciate it if you read me and took my request, thank you.

      yeah, I own/run an entertainment center with a bowling alley and skating rink etc. I thought it would be cool to make the whole back wall of the skating rink into a mirror so people could see themselves skating and it destroyed my framerate

  • @RobotShaz

    once you've finished with the mirror and probe. do you link the reflection probe to the mirror if needing to pack it up in an unpacker for someone? because i had a backdrop the other day that wasn't linked properly and because things wasn;t linked and it was like broken object. everything got messed up and got broken. If i don't link probe to mirror object the reflection messes up if you go to move the mirror or if you pick it up. you lose the reflection aswell.

    • @danaenyo
      @danaenyo Месяц назад +1

      YES, you have to link them. (ALSO: I recommend ALWAYS immediately NAMING your Reflection Probes! There are going to be millions of these invisible phantom objects around SL, and it would be nice if they're not called OBJECT. I give mine imaginative names like "Dana House Probe" or "Dana Mirror Probe 1".

      It is possible that your video card may not be up to the task if it's an older one. I have an Nvidia GTX 3060 and it works well. Also, older CPUs might not work.

    My mirrors never seem to work like the tutorials. x.x There's always weird angle issues and magnification. I walk up close to a mirror, like shown here, and I take up the whole thing. Not sure what I've done wrong - followed all the same steps. My reflections are also very choppy, unless I set them to realtime, even though yours is set to Sat&Dyn, you seem to get the realtime updates. I've also got mine set to every frame, so I should be getting the same result.

    • @remo687
      @remo687 6 месяцев назад +3

      I had that problem of "telescoping" where the reflection would look stretched very far away or super-close and filling the whole mirror. I just selected the mirror probe prim and moved it back and forth(closer and farther) in front of the shiny surface until it looked right. If you get the center of the mirror probe as close as you possibly can to the shiny surface without passing through it, it should look good.

      @@remo687 They're tricky! Play carefully (using EDIT LINKED) changing the size and relative position of the Reflection Probe. Also--and this may be a no-brainer but isn't--note that only ONE SIDE of your mirror is a mirror! Walk around the back and you won't work!

    The only problem being is that when a lot of people upgrade to the new viewer to be able to do this it will eat their graphic cards alive. I have a powerful PC but even my graphics card fans threw a wobbler.

      Change the mirror texture resolution from 512 to 2048 and it will be much clearer I think, I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but it was mentioned in one of the lab gab videos a while back that one of the main reasons they added 2048 textures was to make mirror surfaces less blurry.
