how to make a mirror ?
to make a mirror I found these quotes in the comment section:

"If you need to reverse the image, simply rotate the screen by 180 degrees."
"follow Doc's tutorial, link in the description"
"Try the DOF slider on the RT_Camera or by bumping up your RT solution like I tell you in the description above"

I'm not sure if that solves the problem I'm exposing, though. Like, I know the camera attached to the mirror must rotate in a very specific way in relation to the mirror itself and in relation to the camera that is recording... That's what I wanna know how to do. IF there is a way :P

Yeah, if you position the camera "JUST" right and rotate the panel correctly, it can be used as a mirror, but it's really finicky and hard to do. You have to remember that cameras are perspective, not orthographic and switching a RT_Camera to Ortho mode doesn't work the way most might think. This is used more for, as you say, tv screens or monitor panels.

Here have a look at these

Hopefully that helps you create the effect you're looking for. SFM doesn't do reflective materials well and RT Cameras and Screens are probably the next best thing to a truly reflective material for a mirror.

Oh, the other thing is to remember to add the -monitortexturesize xxxx command to the startup configurations, (xxxx is the resolution that you want the camera and screen to produce. I had mine set to 2048 for the screen shots and renders I took above)

Unfortunately, I have to keep my imgur account trimmed down. The images were deleted.
