Place Reflection for Blender

€0+
2 ratings

Place Reflection simplifies the time consuming task of accurately placing lights and reflected objects to achieve a specific reflection. It’s as easy as dragging over a target surface so that the light or object reflection occurs at the point of the cursor. Use the mouse wheel to quickly adjust the distance of the light and use the Shift or Control modifier keys to define the speed for the movement.

  3. LMB drag the mouse over the surface to define the object’s reflection point.
  4. Use the scrollwheel on the mouse to set the distance of the object to the surface. When holding Shift the movement gets slower, holding Ctrl increases the speed.
