I made a mirror rutin for dbc, its currently slow, but useable.
Check the screenshoots. The sight of the mirror is still working bad, but i'll fix it. What do you think?

Looks quite good.
Are you doing that by positioning the camera next to the mirror and
using 'get image' and texturing the mirror with that?

Yes. But this is a litrre bit harder, because, standartly, this method get flashing, because you always reposition the camera. So, if you want to make mirrors, you have to fix this flashing. Luckily, i could make it But, as I said, this method still slow (PII633 256MBRAM 16MBVGA with medium quality mirrors - 8-12fps).

I upload the source code soon, but its still unfinished.

Not bad snippet, I almost think it, you can made a nice mirror just about 2mins.

BUT, this isn't a mirror! you can see, plain texture shows what are you seeing in the monitor!!!

I hope, you anderstand it. Im so bad in english.

And, sorry about you couldt see the pictures, try it, they have to work now...

DARKGuy: Yes, to save camera output, whitout shoving, this possible. And, thats why, the mirroring really do slowly in DB.
