Reflections - Polyloop

Mr. Jeff · 31st March 2007, 16:38

Does anyone know how I would make a reflection not look perfect? I've got a floor that is shinny plastic and I want a refection but distorted. Whatever I try, it looks to perfect.

Thanks

Jeff

Add a slight bump to the plane.

here I have added some cellular bump.
the bump altitude is only set to 1%, this should cause just enough variation to effect reflection, but not make the plane look bumpy

not sure what effect you are after, but a variation of this technique should work.
