Hello

I need to make some two way mirror, any idea to make a mxm to solve this?

Actually the solution I found is a fake one, It is make with 2 objects,:
- first is an ags glass mxm
- second with a mirror mxm, but with "invisible to camera" checked.

Is it for an animation? Keep in mind that lighting plays a big part in the way 2 way mirrors work.

This is one way mirror but, I'm not sure if you're refering to same thing or two-way version is something else...

With thinner glass (and also different emitter geo), it looks like this;

It is a confusing image,.. (an illuminated curved sign, floating inside a one-way glass ball).... but the render feels just right.

Thank you for your help guys :wink:

But I have not be able to make it :?

- Tom I have tried your mxm, but the result I have is... empty, I missed something for sure...
- Eric I tried your mxm too, the result I have is more like a black lacquered vs a mirror,
then I tried to put a light inside the cube to see if the 2 way mirror is revealed by it, but no change... Arghhhhhhhhhh
