How to add reflections in your 360° Footage|Mantra VR > Mirrors Tutorial
The Mirrors Effect from Mantra VR adds one or multiple mirrors reflecting the footage behind them in your 360° composition. As Charles Yeager puts it in the Tutorial, the Effect works much like the Magnifying Glass effect, for which it shares many of the same parameters. This Effect also works well combined with other Mantra VR Effects like the Hyperbolix or Twirl.
