Syo Emerald Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 No. You can't move water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can fake a mirror: sit and move the camera to look at you from the mirror image position :smileysurprised::smileyvery-happy: You can also fake a shiny floor by duplicating the walls and objects in the room, flipping the copies upside down below the floor, then giving the floor a little transparency. Many years ago, I visited a store that had done this. The effect was very nice, and a bit ghostly, as avatars were not "reflected" in the floor.

Madelaine McMasters Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Ooooh, I'd forgotten about mirror water! And that method is double fun. Who doesn't like walking on walls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marigold Devin Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Not like in real life, no. There are dressing tables and similar items that are scripted to make it look like you are reflected, but they just place your avatar within the mirror space of the furniture (they're pretty cool though). Linden water is the only place where you can get a reflection. I had a play around a few years ago in a Linden-owned waterland sim. Playing with the water and lighting settings, instead of always having my world's sun time set to midday. It was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conifer Dada Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I seem to remember Linden Lab experimented with real reflections on shiny surfaces a few years ago. I don't know if they would have been good enough to reflect an avatar realistically in a mirror, but (and correct me if I'm wrong) nothing seems to have resulted from that short-lived experiment yet. As things are, you can make a flat silvery, shiny surface that looks like a mirror, but it only vaguely reflects ligher and darker, giving the impression of sky and ground.

Now we would need only a way to rotate the gravity and this would be perfect. :matte-motes-big-grin: :matte-motes-wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sky and moon might look off, which might be fun too. I'm surprised some one hasn't tried this yet it's like getting the foot print area of 16 sims for the price of one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
