I made a 24-bit .bmp fully-white sprite ,then attached material 'mtl_mirrorFloor' (in mtlFX.c) to it and that's what I sadly got: Also, I tried that with a model, but the model just stood there without any reflection So, I would be grateful if any of you guys could tell me how I can make a mirror properly Thank you and any help will be appreciated Last edited by CyberGhost; 07/21/14 18:37.

I know the manual said something like it was FLAG8 in WED 4 ,but I have nearly the latest version of 3DGS. Also, I can't set FLAG8 for a single face of a block. Nothing to say ....

If you went to a direction in the real world ,you will go to the same direction in the mirror no matter you set CULL_CW for the view or not environment mapping: Actually, I don't have very good experience with shaders . I used the floor reflection ,but it didn't work. I am sure there is something missing. Nothing to say ....
