Subject: OT: What Color is a Mirror?
Thanks for posting that. I wish my science teachers were that creative in their instruction. I might have actually understoon Physics!
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
Apparently a mirror is "bhleg"-colored. Who knew?
Umm. :unsure:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
So has anyone tried to do that mirror in mirror thing to get an increasing green tint?
WARK!

:D
Looks good. How may bounces is that? I'm guessing 40-50.

WC - It was 50 bounces. Good eye.
MC - No - not similar to dresser set. It was just a single Reflect node. The materials I put out in my sets have render GC detection and auto shader GC, implement the Fresnel effect, have homogeneous Blinn+Reflect parameters, automatically manage reflection quality when you change the blur, and several other goodies most people never deal with.
To get the same using one of my set shaders, you want the color to be slightly green - I used 248, 250, 248.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
By the way, the guy in the video briefly shows a paper about the effect. You can read it here:

The silver backing is not reflecting more green. It's the transmission of the glass that causes the tint. Some special mirrors have a backing made of other materials (aluminum) that produces a decreased amount of green reflection, which, when combined with the transmission characteristics of the glass, can flatten the reflected spectrum.

Pretty cool explanation about mirrors and eyes :)
