Reflective surface test

Mmmmm, sausage...

Ok, didn't have time to make a full tutorial for this. But for now mostly people seem interested in the reflection technique rather than a full 3D build.

(If you're looking for the basic construction of a 3D room first, you can check out this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KgureFXLwc from "Zack" from Anime Studio 101, but beware... if you're not already aware, these tutorials can be LONG, and well... )

Let me just get to the point... here's a little pan around the environment which I think gives a pretty good idea of how it's all laid out. I've turned off visibility incrementally throughout for all duplicate layers that exist as "reflections."



Perhaps I can do something a little more detailed later on if there's still interest.

Very cool technique. Thanks for making this and posting!

If that's a kind way of saying "a rambling, nearly incoherent mess," you are a better diplomat than I, there's no doubt.

The tutorial did little more than show the basic way to make a cube already in the built-in tutorials. I'll have to play around with the technique as I think it makes for a better looking set.

Yeah, sorry about that. (Though maybe there's something to be said for a tutorial that leaves you plenty of time to screw around with things on your own.)

Kind? ...I try. Diplomat? ... Maybe. Really just not finding a lot of free time, and concerned that a tutorial of my own would be rushed, or similarly too ambling to get to the root of what someone's looking for (given there are already so many existing tutorials out there)

Sometimes inspiration is tutorial enough, and your reflective basketball court is very inspirational, Thanks
