CustomMirror

VamHub Page of the Plugin

A small, focused mirror plugin for VaM. I made it to fix a few specific issues I personally had with VaM's built-in glass mirror and with PluginIdea's HighPerformanceMirrorReflection, and that's all it's meant to do.

What it fixes​

These are the issues I was hitting, and what this plugin does about them:

• Works with LightAtomExcluder by @Dragontales . This was my main reason for making it. When I use LightAtomExcluder to have lights only illuminate a person and exclude the environment, VaM's built-in glass loses that excluded environment from the reflection. CustomMirror keeps it looking correct.

• Works with Glance. A person can look at themselves through the mirror, because the plugin lives on the normal Reflective glass atom rather than replacing it.

• No UI or CameraRig in the reflection. Like the built-in glass, and unlike what I was getting with HighPerformanceMirrorReflection

• No phantom lens flare. No stray light/flare showing up in the reflection.

• Consistent reflection brightness. It doesn't get blown-out bright or too dark depending on your viewing angle.

Optional extras​

Beyond the fixes, there are a few simple, optional toggles — all off/neutral by default:

• A handful of performance options (reflection resolution, skip shadows in the reflection, cheaper lights, mono-VR, distance-based auto-resolution, max reflection distance)

• Optional blur (with a distance-scaled mode)

• A see-through-from-behind option (one-way-wall style)

It supports both desktop and VR.

How to use:​

1. Add a Glass atom (Add Atom → Reflective→ Glass)

2. On that atom, go to the Plugins tab → Add Plugin → load CustomMirror

That's it. It takes over the reflection automatically (the built-in reflection is turned off while the plugin is active, and restored if you remove it).
