Reflect on your creation - Creating a Mirror effect in Unity

In this tutorial we will learn how to use render texture to project the cameras view on to a plane and make a mirror that can be also a one directional mirror.
This can elevate your Unity game in a simple but effective way.

while this isnt mirror it is a good tutorial to get someone started on creating a mirror

[strange_poop_lol]

best tutoriel ever about a mirror, fast and simple what a good video!!

[alecraigan]

By far the best and simple tutorial I have seen about mirrors, for some reason I couldn't find anything about mirrors and even ended up in a tutorial about reflections which was the closest thing I found before this!! thank you very much

[FutureClub]

Thanks! Great and Quick - after several other tutorials that didn't do it, your was the best and worked!

A quad would make more sense than a plane here

I set multiple mirrors in my scene, but one of them is enough to lower the fps. Anyway to fix that?

Why is it showing only black when i build the game and play it on my vr headset?

[Berniebud]

ah yes the "look ma im on tv" type of mirror, whatr the hell

Does it work like horizontal mirror for player camera (main character) ? I see in some old games (Re-Volt 1999 racing game) using mirror effect for adding few more levels without creating new maps

Very easy and simple to create. Thanks for sharing. If you don't mind one suggestion, you are talking really fast. I know you were probably trying to make the tutorial short, but talking slower would be nice. Thanks again.

Why my mirror not sharp enough? Its blurred

Great, simple tutorial, but there are guranteed to be some performance issues, since you are rendering the scene 2x with 2 cameras. Do you know any other ways to do this?
