I know that it works in iclone 5 and that is my frustration
I tried your solution in iclone 6 and I cannot get that to work at all.
Can you please give some step by step instructions as to how you achieved this iclone 6 ?
Thanks in advance

Well....my previous post on page one, of this thread, was a tute for iC6. I'll admit it wasn't a very good tute but pretty straight forward I thought....

As you know mirrors don't work in iClone6. Mark has made a good tute.
I'll try to explain (in my best Dutch-English) how to make a substitute mirror.

-Launch iClone5 (32bit)
-Hide grid (Ctrl+g)
-Disable shadow
-add Gwynn
-add motion "posing in front of mirror" (=511 frames)
-export the popVideo
-select in modify panel:
.iClone popVideo
.video quality:8
.outputsize 500x1000
.framerate=30
.outputrange: 1-511 (=motion lenght)
-Save the popVideo on your disk

-Launch iClone6
-add Gwynn
-add motion "posing in front of mirror" (in frame 1)
-add a Mirror (I took the one of Granny J-Mirror ornate gold)
- I scaled the mirror to :X=100 Y=182,8 Z=241
-import the popVideo in frame 1(find file on your disk and drag with Ctrl in iClone)
-turn the popVideo 180 degr. (Z=180)
-scale the popVideo as needed (I scaled in this case to 65%)
-place the popvideo just behind the mirror
-add Box01 (prop). I scaled it X=143 Y=3,7 Z=220,2
-add the material Glass02 on this box
-place the box behind the mirror and the popVideo
-copy Box01, remove textures and set diffuse and ambient color to RGB 100-100-100
-place this box after the first box

Now it should work.

This is an example, you can do it as you want.

Ok thank you for the detailed instructions but it is not really what I am after as you have said you need to create a video and then reverse it so that you have 2 movements going on at the same time.
What I am after in Icone 6 is a proper functioning mirror as used in Iclone 5 and hopefully Realussion will include this in an update.
Come on people in Iclone 6 - You Can Do It !!!

Yep! I've been asking for one since iC4!!!

I think it's one of the most ignored feature requests...

It's not for lack of trying...

Thanks, Schemer! I love the mirror prop (see attached). The only negative thing, I have to say about it, is that it doesn't reflect shadows (also, too bad it doesn't work in 6, but I'm using 5 anyway).

You are welcome. Glad I could help. Better in iClone 5 than in neither.

SO PLEEEEEEEEASE SHOW ME!!! I'm too simple to understand. Do you even have a recent copy of iClone swope?

iClone "Reflection" does not work correctly on a flat plane! The reflection is "enlarged and pixilated". Only "Water" works "somewhat" correctly but it cannot be rotated perpendicular to the ground.

At this point in time only a "curved" prop can create a "kinda" useable reflection surface.

PLEASE prove me wrong!!!!

So? Any other solution out there since last year (except rotating everything by 90 degrees, but water) ?
