Mirror Tetrahedron- Real Reflection?
« on: November 19, 2014, 03:34:54 AM »
Was wondering how hard it'd be to code a Mirror Tetrahedron that actually reflects it's environment.

Sorry if this sounds rude, but i think GA has more important things to worry about.  :)

Why are replies to interesting/fair questions so often something like: "this isn't important or a good idea"

How hard is a fair question... it's possible, but require a 2nd render of the scene for each visible side. Not sure how hard, but a few hours of work (best case)... and the performance would suffer. Probably more like a day or two.

I agree it would be cool, but we probably aren't going to get around to that any time soon.

Im not sure how hard it is, but I dont think reflections are added yet. The monolith reflects a picture of the milky way no matter what. Sounds neat though
