Where and how do I enable the reflections of my character in shiny surfaces, glass, mirrors, reflective materials.
Example in the epilogue with Judy, countertop large surround mirror/shiny surface, I can clearly see an exact reflection of Judy but I am not reflected and I'm next to her. Its like Vampire lore where I cast no reflection.

Can't imagine a modern engine where no reflection is cast. What's the point ray tracing if real reflections are not cast such as yourself. (Maybe that's overstated and I retract it, but seriously where is my reelection and WHY are mirrors not real mirrors????)

Is it a combination of settings that makes it go away or make it work. Beyond the fake mirrors why can't I get a reflection in surfaces?

thx

I'll rephrase:

why is there no player character reflection in/on any reflective surfaces?

The mirrors have to be turned on because the reflections from mirrors are even more of a resource hog than the environmental reflections enabled by screen-space reflections.

At the end of the day, characters not being reflected in reflected surfaces constantly is hardly that big of a deal.

Ray tracing has more to do with the lighting than the reflections. Unfortunately, there are only a couple methods of creating reflections in a game and the prettier they are, the more exponential the performance impact will be. Hopefully, in time, they can figure out a better way to make it work though!
