Here’s another functionality. If you take a sphere mesh, crunch it down into a pancake, and make it glass, the lower the transparency is, the more it magnifies. Here’s 0.3 transparency:
0.5 transparency:
And 0.9 transparency:
The change is relatively minor, but at 0.3 transparency, It could make a good short range scope? Here’s one more of it changing live so you can get the feel of how much it really changes:
I love this stuff, man!

Short answer, because they’d have to replicate every movement in your client in another space. It doubles visible triangles and would create horrendous lag. In a 2D game, it’s much different.

Used the search function and found out that it’s very possible, but wouldn’t be easy to implement and it could be quite taxing.
Not quite, it’s more that they have to employ screen space reflection for performance reasons, and screen space reflection would not give good enough results for mirrors, since it can only reflect from what is already drawn on your screen. (it can’t use anything behind you, or any back faces of objects that aren’t in direct view, since they are not rendered on the image) Raytracing techniques can do reflection but are too expensive for real-time graphics for gaming.

Also, for people saying make it for gun scope, IT DOESN’T WORK, its too blurry and hardly magnifies.

Just be careful implementing it, because it’ll probably break.

So many amazing new features recently. Glass, Beams, and the draw distance being increased… I’m loving all the new content!
It’s like Developer Christmas.

This is basically dual render. Now we just need higher magnification and a clearer image.

Would the shape of the BasePart be able to distort the image accordingly (such as convex and concave lenses)?
Yeah, I think it does to a point.
