Zaxwerks Reflector 1.0

After Effects can do so much, but you couldnt do reflections easily. Until now.
Use Reflector to quickly enhance your scene with reflective surfaces.
Its as easy as picking a surface (a floor, a wall, a ceiling) and applying the Reflector effect. One additional click will update your scene for reflections.
Reflector will work with 3D text, pictures, and movies. Most effects in your scene will be reflected as well.
Need a mirror? Use Reflector. Want to simulate a hard wood floor? Use Reflector.
There are many surfaces that dont fully reflect the items above it. For example, hardwood floors reflect, but only to a point. The further away from the floor an object is, the less it reflects. You can simulate such an effect with the Falloff parameters in Reflector. Set the Falloff Starting Point and Distance, then select the Falloff checkbox. Update your scene to see the effect.
There will occasions where you dont want every layer to show up in your reflective surface. Sometimes its for a desired effect (like vampire images). Other times its because a layer just doesnt look right in the reflected area. The Hide 2D Layers parameter takes care of many distracting layers, but there may be 3D layers that need hiding has well.
When you choose to hide the parent of a bunch of layers, all its children will also be hidden.
