Are Mirrors possible?

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

the only way I can think of is using some huge hack + script which is embedded into the texture o.0

you can try the mirror texture

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

i dont think i've played a game where i've seen it, so i'm not sure its possible, at least not in cod.

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.

lol Dues Ex mirrors were out of sync... if you kept swinging the crowbar, the mirror image would swing a second after you

Ah well, it still looked pretty sweet. That was a great game, might reinstall it some time.
