Reflection (Concept)

Reflection

CONCEPT

Ability to see a character's body in mirrors, water, or other surfaces.

Overview

Since comprehensive reflections are near impossible to accomplish in real-time on modern graphics hardware, almost all reflections accomplished in video games are a simulation of some sort. Thus the image quality of the reflections will usually be inferior to the rest of the game. For example, the reflection may be at a lower resolution and lower frame rate, or it may be missing details such as trees or characters.
