Creating Reflective Surfaces

There's no narration, only music. You can mute the audio. :)
In this tutorial I will show you how to create a basic reflective surface such as floor in Valve Hammer Editor for use in Source Filmmaker.
Required software:
* Valve Hammer Editor - available in Source Filmmaker SDK.
Too long, didn't watch:
1. Above the surface you wish to make reflective create a 1 unit thick brush with a 'nodraw' texture applied.
2. On the newly created brush apply 'reflectiveglass01' material to the side you wish to make reflective. You have multiple choices but we only need 'glass/reflectiveglass001' right now.
3. Tie your reflective brushes to an entity called 'func_reflective_glass'.
4. Save and compile your map. When you will open up your map in Source Filmmaker you will notice that there are no reflections yet. Right click on the viewport → Draw Game Entities → Other Entities.
Reflections might also appear if you just open the model browser and then close it without actually importing anything.
Here's the original tutorial from Interlopers upon which this one is based: www.interlopers.net/index.php...

    Basically you have to create your own material and create a noisy bump map for it. I might make a tutorial on this topic someday, but for now you can download this tiny pack of materials I made a while ago: Mirror 1 - mega.nz/#F!ho0DEY5D!Wqb0YyTlowxf9kTy0yuf8Q Mirror 2 - www.mediafire.com/folder/il68ig7km58u4/Reflective_Surfaces Try them out in different environments and with different textures. Adjust as needed!

    @UCC1FlpEmfZJ2a4afL_RfaTg I'm not sure, actually. It's a bug that I can't seem to trace because it randomly appears and then randomly disappears. For example I had to render that tiny demo in the beginning without AO enabled.

    For some reason I cannot find the "func_reflective_glass".

    Are you are using hammer as the tool to make maps then sfm to build up scenes? Because i cant seem to achieve that level of detail by just building up individual rooms with sfm. Just curious because i want to learn hammer.

    As far as I know it only works with brushes.
