How can one make a wall mounted mirror?

In the attached picture I created a reflective surface using a standard 3D block, however the reflection is terrible. On the floor I used water and the reflection is perfect.

Does anyone know how to do this?

               

This question pops up every now and then, but answer is still - no. No vertical mirrors yet in iClone. Horizontal water is best you can get in that regard. Sorry.
Try some trick with green screening or, that could be rather elegant solution, try to mimic mirror with video file mapped on "mirror" surface.
(meaning, film your scene twice, from different angles if you must, one for actual scene and one for the "mirror" scene. Then just use flipped "mirror" video as animated texture of the mirror surface.)

Hello ,

a mirror like this :

CGTRADER

If you want a high resolution reflective image, this is how to do it.

1) Rotate your camera 180 degree to film your character facing the mirror

2) Use the IMAGE overlay to represent the Mirror frame and place in front of character

3) Render scene as single uncompressed TGA Frames, i.e. frame001, frame002 etc...

4) Use photoshop batch system to flip every frame horizontally and generate a non compressed Video

5) Load new Video as Background Video Layer to your original scene ...

:D

See my Pinhead Movie of 2 years ago ...It uses such a scene... 

Cheers!

There is a mirrorplane for iclone 5 you can also use vertical. Is that not what you are looking for?

Thanks everyone for your prompt responses.

@Sen - yes the mirror in your video is probably sufficient, how did you do it?

@Bigboss - I can use that method if others fail, as it seems like a little more work. I don't think I need an extremely high resolution reflection for what I am trying to achieve, just not as distorted as the one I posted.

@ W. Veeke - Where is this magic mirror plane? I searched my content for 'mirror' but can't see any.
