Translucent + mirror
We all know that Translucent plus mirror makes a surface relflect an image while still showing the texture, but how do you make a surface Reflect, show a texture, AND be see-through? This would make Ice textures look better.

Re: Translucent + mirror
I believe you cannot do that, not on official (not 227) Unreal, anyway.

You mean something like that??:We all know that Translucent plus mirror makes a surface relflect an image while still showing the texture, but how do you make a surface Reflect, show a texture, AND be see-through? This would make Ice textures look better.

Re: Translucent + mirror
That surface doesn't seem to be reflecting anything so that's just normal translucency.
Hyzoran means having the same effect as "translucent" and "mirror" tags combined in a texture, but with the end result being actually translucent, not opaque as is the case of the former.
Edit: In fact, he wants something akin to this:

That's actually a translucent liquid surface with a translucent + mirror pool base underneath. Of course this kind-of-hack only works on very shallow pools.

Re: Translucent + mirror
Ah I understand....Yeap this effect is impossible to make in UEDThat surface doesn't seem to be reflecting anything so that's just normal translucency.

Shame.
