Holy crap
That’s super realistic my computer would cry if I run this!
Keep up the good work👍

Hopefully that wont be the case soon once i properly optimise this. My goal rn is to try and get at least two high quality reflective objects shown on screen to run at 60 FPS on a typical home computer

This is awesome, I’d like to see this in a game some day

I dont know what kind of magic is going on to make that work, but holy heck, good job dude.

The bast part of this is that it’s reflecting the player model, which I don’t think Roblox is doing with there reflections.

Roblox reflections is in the works, It will likely come out in 2022.
Was this done using the beta feature? Or was it coded
This looks great, I assume that the game sends an HTTPS request to a website that screenshots the players screen in realtime from a different perspective and uploads the textures and those textures and converted into the “mirror” which gives the look of reflections.
That’s sick would be cool if this was actually a feature

nah
if that was the case there would be a delay on the reflections

It could be using that new reflections thing
Truly magnificent I hope it can run on low end pc’s

Nope. This doesnt use any third party tools or any beta features or anything. This was made with nothing but constant raycasts and surface guis for the pixels. This was purely made within roblox. this could have even been made back in 2013 when surfaces guis were released!

Roblox doesn’t even have true reflections as far as i know. Thats why realmirrors dont really work. The closest thing they have rn is cube map reflections which aren’t even proper reflections really. Its pretty much just like skybox reflections
You can probably look at 1 or 2 mirrors on low quality mode to be able to sustain a decent framerate on a low end PC 
I would like to point out that this actually runs relatively fast on my small Iphone8! All though the lag really kicks in when im looking at 3 or more mirrors.
But not to worry. I plan to optimise the crap out of this before i can get a test place up and running to the public!

Jeeze that must be really laggy
I managed to make the raytracer faster by only casting one ray instead of two per pixel. This manages to add on an extra 8 to 10 FPS when rendering multiple mirrors. I can even run around 57 FPS when rendering 4 mirrors on performant mode! Big jump in performance and much more optimisation to come in the future!
(Might even make a new video of the new version of the raytracer)

Is this a client side render? This is pretty cool. I have been considering something like this with viewport frames and a WorldModel , but surfaceappearance isn’t fully implemented yet so it would still look awful

Really nice stuff man. 
Too bad that ray casts are handled by the CPU and not the GPU.

Yes. This is all client sided. All though i have been having too many problems with making true reflections with viewport frames, and there is just so must more raytracing can do (such as reflections in reflections, lights, shadows, etc)
