this tutorial i'm gona show how you can make a DCR(double camera renering) and aply it to any surface that you want first let me do a simple scenebuild https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/f79ec308-d4e6-4347-a0bb-1bd2fe7045f0/20180315192347_1.jpg good, everything is normal at this point now we need to put a seconde camera bellow the ground in the same angle and aligned with the first one. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/5aea742f-0190-443e-bf7c-32c949d4a802/20180315193754_1.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/0f0dccfb-7d6d-44d4-bb39-8cdc309290a4/20180315193826_1.jpg that is what we see in the first camera https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/9e5b8272-0be5-45e0-a967-e496cc800426/20180315193856_1.jpg and that is what we should see in the second camera https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/1c05d186-c7e2-484f-b2ed-ab73e4665189/20180315193902_1.jpg now you need to render the two frames, you can render the second camera frame with a small poster size an a small lamp resolution. then enter in your editor this is the normal render https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/4954dc84-4a36-47a9-8dea-984361e9d41a/Sem Título-4.jpg and this is the reflex cam render https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/c49ea74d-c58a-4133-8a9a-e3828b14e000/Sem Título-5.jpg use the same opacity in the same layers in both files. now you need to create a cutout layer.so we can crop the reflex. simple use submaterial tool and aply a shiny white texture in the desired plane, in this case the ground https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/d1c04f8d-3d51-497d-a2bb-a160bff2b3f3/20180315200247_1.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/8eb3ed1f-e793-491a-b001-983d2fc5491c/20180315200257_1.jpg use the command poster in you chosen ressolution then put the layer in the editor when you're done with editing the light merge all the layers of the reflex then press CTRL+A then copy and paste to the main render if you rendered the reflex layer in a small resolution you may have to resize the layer in this case just press CTRL+T then grab all the sides of the picturel holding SHIFT until they snap in the edges like this https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/cb8a946b-d0b2-444c-9063-c10c6d5e12ca/Sem Título-6.jpg now you need to hold CTRL and grab the layer until you get everything alligned sometimes you must grab the edges to get everything aligned too like this https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/e504d11b-c318-4e61-8b3c-9a8511361041/Sem Título-7.jpg see? we're almost done, now just set a gausian blur and a motion blur to get some... blur https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/af8f21b9-3b57-45e7-9075-670194f15e61/Sem Título-8.jpg now is the izi pizi part use the cut out layer that you created and use the magic want tool to select the red color in the ground, rightclick then inver the selection now select the reflex layer and click delete you will get this https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/709c40aa-6048-4cc4-b5ae-7442c1e7b591/Sem Título-9.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/d795dd90-417d-4bbd-b726-9775f6206f97/Sem Título-11.jpg in this last step i used a normal 360 glowing lamp and colored the ground black so we get this https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/ee7d75f7-0756-431c-8efa-930c7a2d907f/poster-18-03-15 20-02-13.png i used the cutout layer to select only the ground and deleted the rest i set this layer to overlay and we get this https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/bb6a6644-90a9-4547-a135-41285bf484fb/Sem Título-102.jpg now you just merge the reflex with this black layer so you can set te levels of reflection in the ground. repeat the same cutout process to select only the ground and delete this black ish in the layer https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/897ee469-da9f-4dd4-8675-858c86734b61/Sem Título-11.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/939751b3-1be5-4173-bbc7-7b3a7def7dee/tutorial dcr.jpg this is the result of DCR, with some fancy effects and croped https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112192/24d5737d-b889-447f-bb67-1f620b0bd81d/tutorialdone.jpg
