Mirror reflection 3 error

Hi, I post it again, with more detail: I would like to use the mirror reflection shader on an imported mesh from 3ds max. I was able to achieve with some rotation in Max (different axis system) to get work the shader from Unify, but it doesn’t work properly when the camera moves/rotates. Unity 3.5 Pro is the app version. Please help what could cause this error and how to fix it. I already tried to find where the axis of the reflection could be changed (no success), so I rotated the mesh.[10679-mirror+problem.jpg|10679]

I attached the codes I used and the scene, too. Thanks again.

Just edit your old question. You currently have two open/unanswered questions. Don't start another one just edit your old one with the same topic.Also please close or accept and answer on the questions which are solved.

No questions solved or answered properly yet, I cannot edit them, I don't have the right I think. Please delete the old one with the same topic and let this new one go. Thanks. The old one: 'Imported plane with a hole in it - Mirror reflection doesn't work properly'

I can't do it yet i don't have enough karma. Not having the rights to edit your own question? That sounds weird? are you sure you can't press the button edit below your question? If you really for some reasons can't edit your own question you have to close it yourself by clicking the close button below your question and then giving a reason.

Sorry, my bad, I found 'edit' finally, but not the 'close' button yet. I think that who planned/designed this 'forum-engine' had never seen a good one... Thanks for deleting the former one.

And the solution arrived, thanks to Bahaa from Mixed Dimensions. It works perfectly for floors without any additional tool and partially works for symmetric meshes along one axis (ceiling).

For the floor nothing should be changed with the mesh, just change the transform.up to transform.forward (vector normal) in the MirrorReflection 3 script from Unify.

For ceiling you have to model the ceiling like a floor (normals up, not down), then rotate it in Unity with 180 degree along its axis (works for symmetrical stuff).

I hope it helps for others; I will ask Unify guys to put it in the MirrorReflection details.

Hi
Mirror reflection attached on this answer download and enjoy am using this recently made almost 35 days ago :smiley: :D[10685-mr.zip|10685]

Thanks, unfortunately this one doesn't handle imported mesh from Max (different axis system); I put the solution up here, just needs time until moderators let it go.

Don't you have an idea for this?;) http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/449012/facing-mirrors.html

Does anyone know the equivalent of CameraSpacePlane() for JavaScript?
