Are Mirrors possible?

Post by Dan2k3k4 » March 20th, 2006, 1:50 am

Is it possible to create a working mirror soo when you look in it you'd see your CoD (or UO or CoD2) player and everything behind them?

I doubt it is, but if it is that'd be kool :P the only way I can think of is using some huge hack + script which is embedded into the texture o.0

I dont know why they even call it that, it doesnt reflect. they should have called it trippy texture :D

if you're saying where you've ever seen mirrors, ive seen it in Doom 3 before, and i believe Fear might have some as well. But of course those are much more advanced engines, i don't believe mirrors are possible as it would be beyond the rendering capability of the modified quake 3 engine.

Q3 engine does not support mirrors and without the SDK, mirrors will always be impossible.
