SparkyVegas and LostBoyz like this!

is it possible to create a mirror layer with this "rough" effect on the reflection?
I did this in Blender.
I tried to apply effects to the "mirror" level but the effects only go on an applied texture and not the reflection.
I have also tried with a color map level but I have not been able.
Can it be done in another way? I say on the reflection, not on the material of the texture.
I saw soft reflections on the camera but does not blur the whole plan.
I would have liked an effect to simulate reflections on a rough surface.

Thanks

I tried with a water level

I got this good result only by simulating reflection and using glitter

Apply the Camera\CameraSoftReflections effect to the camera layer.

@Michiel, as you can see I wrote that I tried it, but the reflection is blurred and does not look like a rough surface.

Sorry Vincent but the effect is missing and I can not see the animation.
I tried to insert the effect "ColourmapDisplacementmapCubemap.cfx" on the layer but it still does not work.

So you want a rough mirror?

In this screenshot, the floor is a picture layer using the AdvancedMaterials\ColourmapDisplacementmapCubemap effect.

I'm using all 3 textures of this effect. The cubemap texture is a cubemap layer.

Is this what you're looking for?

I tried Michiel's idea.

Apply the Camera\CameraSoftReflections effect to the camera layer.

Thanks Dani and Vincent !!

AND / OR use both effect

On Camera Layer: Camera\CameraSoftReflections
Play with Mirror, Blur and Gradient to your licking,

Place Cubemap layer
Add picture and use effect: AdvancedMaterials\ColourmapDisplacementmapCubemap.cfx
Select Displacement map with a evenly pattern like ReptileSkin_Normalmap
And use the Cubemap as Cubemap, go to cubemap layer press F2 and position it so that the reflections match.
Play with displacement size to your licking.

That's it.

Good Luck and have fun.

Thanks for using the Podrace.png as heightmap Vincent.
