I'm just going to throw this out there: What if there was a reflective material or object? Would that be too complex or is it possible? edit: dug around and answered my own question...looks like there will be a mirror material in the metals category. Hooray!!

it could be done but it would have to be the layer behind you , because if it was in front you wouldn't be able to see the refection .BOUNTY.

That makes for good eyecandy. Should at least. Now we need slanted mirrors in the z-axis!

What an interesting idea. Besides, I dont recall seeing this suggested before. As it has been said, it would be truly useful for creating some eyecandy. I can already see it as a mandatory material in almost every level.

There's already a basic reflection engine at work in LBP1, although it is quite a limited one. I think that advanced reflections could not only deliver some great eyecandy, but could be used as a gameplay element as well. It all depends on the degree of realism put in the engine.

What if it were a tool from the tools bag (like spikes) and it didn't reflect Sackboy, but light. Like, you shine a laser/spotlight on it and the beam is reflected.

Yes please!! I've always wanted this in LBP1 and never managed to create it with all the glass/water combinations I tried. A mirror in LBP2 would be amazing, if only there were some way you could place it in the back layer and reflect the image of the player sitting on their couch! PSEye compatibility maybe?

I'm not sure how MM would implement this, sure they could add a 'mirror material' which you plonk down like any other material, but I don't think the reflection would be as deep as people want.
