I'm wondering how can I achieve an effect which looks like that:



SET REFLECTION SHADING ON doesn't work for me (applied to a plane just turns it blue).

I was wondering, maybe create a camera that is up side down, render it to an image, then texture the plane with that image. However, I'd need something that works like environmental mapping in 3d max, and I guess DBP doesn't have a command for that, doesn't it?

Or is there any shader? Like, a water shader but without any refractions etc.

I think you need to set up a camera for reflections to get the set reflection shading on to work, otherwise it won't know what to reflect.

Oh, no.
It works, it was the plain which had to be placed upside down.

It works now


But if I use ghost on it, it flickers.

How can I make the plain transparent?

edit:
OK, I used reflection on plain and put the plain below the floor and used alpha mapping on floor.

Voila

Could use a blur, but that's beyond my skill at the moment...

you my not have to turn it over as there's an extra variable on the end of make plain.

MAKE OBJECT PLAIN Object Number, Width, Height, Orientation <<this one.
