    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.
