yes but can be cpu intensive and create some slow down if not used sparingly.

I think Indi misread the post, real reflections are not possible in dbc, the only way to do reflections is by having a copy of the object on the other side of the mirror and ghosting the mirror (see the ICED demo that comes with it).

Do you bite your thumb at me sir?

You can position camera at angle reflection is caming, then get image of screen, then texture with that image your mirror object ...have to be plain and you cant do that on large surfaces.
When doing that in real time can be frame consuming hovever...

I think that is what indi meaned...
