Hey all,

So I'm aware that mirror balls are sadly not possible in Capture at the moment - but I've seen a few people talk about their workarounds. Wanted to get a thread going collating people's suggestions...

I've seen some people post about using a sphere form with aluminium material for positioning - I've been using a Flah Butrym LED Ball Moving Head to recreate the effect of the beams, although it's not the smoothest.

What's other people's workarounds?

We at Capture Brasil Study Group are looking for solutions to create a mirror ball based on a "mirrored" ball, emission of light inside the ball and devices that illuminate the ball externally to give a certain realism to the scene.

The first solution is by Luiz Paulo Nenen (the one with a wall and the live view in Beta).

We can also use more than one ball, each one with different characteristics depending on the material applied and the outside light having a crucial role in the effect, this is Marco Vitale's solution (live at Alpha).
