Mirror shader

I’m not sure to understand the expression “glancing angles” (goggle translator was useless…).
Do you mean when the camera forward vector is almost parallel to the reflective plan?
If so: I asked myself the same question and I searched for images of reflecting marbles. It appeared that you could have clear and strong reflections even if you’re in front of a marble surface if it’s perfectly polished.
But I think you’re right: reflections would increase when approaching to “glancing angles”, just like a glass. And using a Fresnel falloff to increase/decrease would be necessary here. It is not implemented yet in the video.

Ah sorry, glancing angle basically means a ray that is approaching 90 degrees to the normal of the surface. But I think you’ve understood what I meant.

What would be really useful with this shader, is to be able to specify the reflection strength at 0° and 90° to the normal, as well as the falloff exponent for maximum control (default would be linear, I guess, but its sometimes handy in rendered CG to be able to override that falloff for a specific look)

Keep up the good work
