  How to ?

  Posted by Marc Bauwens on August 5, 2005 at 2:08 pm

  How can I make a black reflective floor in AE?

  I guess it has to be easy, but so far I have no luck achieving this.
  So a little help from the gurus would be gretly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Well, AE won’t raytrace so you create the illusion by mirroring your content upside down. Then apply a touch of blur to the upside down mirror, and use a feathered mask or ramp effect to fade it out near the edges so it has the illusion of drop off.

  my take.

  Thanks Chris!
  I thought it was something in that direction, but wasn’t entirely sure.
  I’m gonna try this and get back to you with the results.
