It didn't look mirrory to me. But none the less it was really good. He probably used Lightwave.

I dont like the bumps, you should have it cleanly soft and reflecting all the surroundings, it just looks too fake.

its a floating mirror whats meant to look real? seriously it was a test of the animation, endomorphs and dynamics. if i wanted to make it look like an actual mirror i would have... seriously why does everything in here need to be an exact clone from a movie??

I didnt want it a clone from a movie, but merely something that doesnt look like an amature's render.

Good animation for sure, although I'd like to see some sort of interesting reflection map on something like that (and yes, smoother).

Not a big deal. No reflection.
Composite this with an actor and made some interaction.

When you put it in your topic you named 'Matrix Mirror'. If you don't want people to think your going for the effect right from the movie. Don't associate it with your work in the first place dumb a**.

well. it was pretty much was very similar to the mirror in the matrix, but that doesnt mean it has to be exactly the same.... btw great render. the snap back looks wierd because it snaps, then suddenly the whole mirror is full of shock ripples. so maybe claen that up a bit if you use it in anything. otherwise great job. i wish i had time to learn 3d rendiring other than swift. :(

Look at the image properties, Zac. He's hosting it at another website, not using the MattHawkins uploader: http://shabot6000.com/blog/uploaded_ima ... ytycd2.gif .
