It's a known problem and hasn't been addressed with a real solution since the beginning. An attempt was made a few years ago but it really didn't work correctly....so we wait :doze:


You might "fake" it with this kluge or use a camera to shoot from the "mirror's" perspective and "map" that video image into the mirror's plane.
...and some avatar's hair needs to be adjusted... you need to adjust alpha threshold of hair to get good results in reflective image.

I, like many others, have also made this very clear to Reallusion.

It is one question that doesn't really get answered by RL in one way or another, so keep asking...:crazy:
There was a solution of sorts in iClone 5 so that you could at least have a mirror, but even that doesn't work in iClone 6. Maybe with the DX9 setting?

To answer my own question, the iClone 5 mirror plan works in iClone 6 under DX9 (I expected this as much). This plane was provided free by Peter (RL) a long time ago with no guarantees.

For those who like the experiment, I'm attaching it as ZIP. Well, I would but there is something wrong in that the forum claims that I have surpassed my download quota (it's only a 3K file).

EDIT: I put it on my own server for now: http://www.virtualrealist.com/uploads/MirrorPlane.zip.

You have to run iClone under DX9.
Go to All Programs => Reallusion:

Click iClone Graphics Mode Selection:

Select DirectX9 and click OK.

iClone 6 will run under Direct 9 and the mirror will work:

Of course, effects that need DirectX 11 will no longer work...:crying:

Unfortunately the mirror issue is not one that has been resolved as yet which is why no official mirror prop is supplied with iClone 6.

The mirror I provided for iClone 5 users was done so with the proviso that it still had issues. Hopefully a future update will bring a fully working mirror but for now you should stick to using water for ground reflections.

isn't 3d xchange is free for iclone 6 users.

if it is free when will i get a copy
By animagic - 10 Years Ago
It is not free, as far as I know. I had to pay for it.
