I'm obsessed with the shiny! Love it so much :D

Are y'all waiting for when avatar's could be reflected?

 

Really enjoyed the zoom session yesterday with imvu staff ^_^

 

Lots of tips about studio, so I look forward to seeing the recap on that session since it was too many for me to remember!

I would opt for no furniture mirrors in lieu of best performance. People have enough issue with crashing and loading, etc.

 

Right now the illusion of a mirror can be done with "Twin Avatars". Great for Feed Photos

@DiamondBones​ and @LestatDeLioncourt​, We really wanted to open the Convex Reflections up for furniture, but there are a few limitations to the feature right now:

  • The reflection image is rendered from the location of the avatar seat.
  • The reflection image is a render of the room and furniture only.
    • This so that any convex reflection material on the avatar looks correct, from the location of the avatar.
  • If convex reflections are assigned to a furniture, then the furniture it is assigned to will also be in the reflection, but from the center point of that furniture and it looks weird.
    • Also, because the avatar is not rendered you will not see its reflection on the furniture.
  • For performance reasons the reflection image is only updated when the avatar changes seats (from the location of seat in the room)
    • The avatar cannot be rendered because you would not see it move in the reflection
    • Furniture and room animations will not update in the reflections.
