- Impossible.... pah, stuff and nonsense!
-
- Do it like this:
-
- Create a second lens flare (a mirrorland version) and place it behind the
- mirror - in the correct mirrored location.
-
- Frinstance, if the mirror is pointing down the Z axis and lives at Z=0 -
- and your source lens flare was at 10,20,30 - then place the mirrorland
- flare at 10,20,-30. A rotating or tilted mirror would make this tricky.
-
- Set the mirror flare to be not obscured by objects - so that the flare is
- not obscured by the mirror or anything else.
-
- Finally check your animation for the frames when you expect the reflected
- flare to be visible though the mirror. (i.e. those where the mirrorland
- flare is within the outline of the mirror) and use the flare envelope to
- turn the flare on only for those frames.
-
- Bingo!
