Reflector

The cientos package provides an abstraction of the Reflector class, which creates a Mesh showing a real-time reflection of your scene. This Mesh extends from Mesh so all the default props can be passed as well:

Usage

<script setup lang="ts">
import { TresCanvas } from '@tresjs/core'
import {
  OrbitControls,
  MeshWobbleMaterial,
  Reflector,
  Stars,
} from '@tresjs/cientos'
</script>

<template>
  <TresCanvas clear-color="#111">
    <TresPerspectiveCamera
      :position="[3, 2, 6]"
      :look-at="[0, 0, 0]"
    />
    <Stars />
    <TresMesh>
      <TresTorusGeometry />
      <MeshWobbleMaterial
        color="orange"
        :speed="1"
        :factor="2"
      />
    </TresMesh>
    <Reflector
      :rotation="[-Math.PI * 0.5, 0, 0]"
      :position="[0, -2, 0]"
      color="#f7f7f7"
    >
      <TresCircleGeometry :args="[10, 32]" />
    </Reflector>
    <TresAmbientLight :intensity="1" />
    <OrbitControls />
  </TresCanvas>
</template>

Props

Prop	Description	Default
color	The base color that's combine with the mirror effect	'#333'
textureWidth	the width of the texture to render on the mirror	512
textureHeight	the height of the texture to render on the mirror	512
clipBias	to use the clipBias property	0
multisample	how many samplers will be render	4
shader	The texture of the smoke.	Reflector.ReflectorShader

WARNING

All the props except the color, are not reactive

Custom mirror effect

For more complex effect you can provide your own shaders, you could do this creating an object and pass the uniforms, vertexShaders or fragmentShaders:

<script setup lang="ts" >
import vertexShader from "MyCustomVertexShader.glsl"

const customShader = {
  vertexShader
}
<script>
<template>
  <TresCanvas shadows alpha>
    <TresPerspectiveCamera :position="[0, 0, 3]" />
    ...
    <Reflector :rotation="[-Math.PI * 0.5, 0, 0]"
    :position-y="-2"
    color="#fff"
    :shader="customShader"
    >
      <TresCircleGeometry :args="[10, 10]" />
    </Reflector>
...
  </TresCanvas>
</template>

The Reflector shader use the following configuration by default:

You can extend, modify or just play with them

			gl_Position = projectionMatrix * modelViewMatrix * vec4( position, 1.0 );

		}`,
	fragmentShader: /* glsl */`
		uniform vec3 color;

		}

		vec3 blendOverlay( vec3 base, vec3 blend ) {

			return vec3( blendOverlay( base.r, blend.r ), blendOverlay( base.g, blend.g ), blendOverlay( base.b, blend.b ) );

		}

		void main() {

			gl_FragColor = vec4( blendOverlay( base.rgb, color ), 1.0 );
