When I use a mirrorwall object, I can't get any mirror FX,
Even if I set "reflection strength" to 0 or 100
No FX in real-time. No FX after creating video

I use Muvizu 64bits and GeForce Cuda graphic card with 2012 driver
An idea?

If so here's how you do it. Make a backdrop the size and shape of your mirror. Place it where you want the mirror to be. Then push a camera through the backdrop from behind until it just pokes through the front of the mirror. Best to keep it central for a realistic mirror.

When you have done all this just edit the backdrops image to display the feed from the camera.

Hey presto. A mirror!!

Hope this helps but you may find that your characters suddenly become more vain and are less willing to work. In extreme cases they can even become addicted to plastic surgery.

Does someone could confirm that the "reflection strength" parameter in mirrorwall object is just a brightness FX?

Yes it does. If you think about it all a mirror does is look back at you. Check out his T-shirt in this vid.

Right click on the camera to edit it's properties. Change it's Base Effect to Horizontal Flip and you have your mirror effect.

The reflection strength is just a brightness effect, not an actual control of reflectivity. There are no reflections in Muvizu (yet).

Hope that helps.
