Okay, so I thought that it would be cool if they gave us a mirror material. And if you have your PlayStation Eye plugged in, and you walk by the material, you would see the reflection of you (or obviously whatever is in the view of the camera). Or if you don't have a PlayStation Eye, it would just reflect the background of whatever one you are using at the moment.
What do you think? :confused:
incorporating the ps eye like that seems somewhat pointless...
it'd be better if the mirror reflected like a real mirror, so depending on the angle your sackboy is with the mirror you'd see something different.
if that's how it would work it'd be a tonne more useful ^^
That seems like an awful lot of programming that ultimatally would be completely useless in actually making levels o_0.
Are you kidding?! A mirror material would be awesome for making levels... I can imagine people creating mirror rooms, and even puzzles that have you use mirrors. TQuote:

well it isn't something Id ask for over bug fixes.. but I'm sure it'd still have it's uses. like seeing farther than the screen.
maybe if a laser and laser switch was added with it O:! the laser would reflect off the mirror and stop at anything else! O: makes for great puzzles!
Except the laser doesn't actually do anything. >_>Quote:

A mirror material would be good
Then we could all be 2 faced ;)
Would be good for puzzles like Whhhhhaaaaaaaaalllllllllleeeeeeeeeeee said
Oh... I... See... :blush:Quote:

The three dimensions of this game are extremely limited. All the player would be able to see is the "reflection of the background". If there was a mirror material, there wouldn't be any way to use it for puzzles. It would just be for asthetic purposes.
You'd have to reflect it into the laser switch, then the switch would activate, and do whatever you have it hooked up to!Quote:

You can see objects that are of the opposite angle at which you view the mirror... if the mirror is at 45 degrees and you are walking along the floor to it, you would see the ceiling..Quote:

and you can rotate the camera enough to see the sides of objects
it would also be good for seeing the back of your sackboy when making costumes
I agree 100%Quote:

Sweet halibut, dude. You cannot rotate anything in the z axis! Do you even own this game? You can't do that!Quote:

Like aup! There's my square! -> [_]
Aup! Now I've rotated it! 45 degrees! woo! -> <>
The Z axis means rotating it towards or away from the screen which is immposible in LBP... at least I think ;P
