Great looking scene but this video has got to be one of the worst tutorials I've ever seen - 3/4 of it is spent saying "reflections can make our scene look loverly". And 0 technical explanation and almost no instruction. Sounds like you were writing a Creative Writing English paper and used Unreal as the subject.

Is this used only for baked lighting or is it also used with Lumen?

Great video. Thank you. Question: can you please advise us on how we can make a reflection for a mirror surface or a glass facade/ curtain wall? At the moment i can only do these things with screen space reflections but for arch viz this is not enough

[hossamnegm]

do it affect path tracing render ?, or only on lumen or Ray trace ?
