I invited Obelix and his dog to visit. I took his photo first. In Paint, I carefully smeared everything around him and the dog in black. Why black? Because only the black color is not reflected in the glass in any way. Anything lighter than black is visible in the reflection, and black works as transparent. And the lighter the color in the photo, the more opaque the effect will be. The white dog will be the most opaque. And Obelix's mustache is transparent.

Now we need to put everything in its place. First, I put a viewer with an eye height of 140 cm, put up a picture of the room. Obelix will appear from the doorway. A 27 cm wide glass was placed between the camera and the doorway, the edges were precisely aligned with the edges of the doorway so that the glass was masked (view from the viewer's eyes). I put the glass parallel to the walls. He also put it up on top of the doorway. So it's almost invisible. The minimum glass thickness is 1 mm. To expose the transparent glass accurately, there is a way. First, you need to make a large glass, then create a box of the same thickness of 1mm and combine it with the glass at the top. Expose the box, pull its dimensions to the desired size, give the desired height and excess. Then repeat all its parameters on the glass, combine with the box. And make the box invisible, leaving only the glass. Now, although the glass is not visible, it stands exactly in its place. Well, put up a group of two boxes for the Obelix. The bottom box has a height of 190 cm, and an Obelix image is stretched over it. The top is an additional one from a lower height box, under the ceiling. The background color on it is black. These two boxes need to be grouped and find a position for them in the room so that there is a correct reflection in the glass. The image should be illuminated with an invisible panel, the power is 20%, it is important to position it so that it does not illuminate the walls. The plan shows where everything is.

the result was this picture. I like that all the minor flaws of the figure are well hidden due to the transparency of the reflection. And through the figure you can see all the details of the interior from behind. After all, the main thing in the picture is the interior, not the Guest)).

the method is certainly not easy, but you do not need to look for a high-quality model that will then take forever to load. And you can choose a very interesting photo that will look much cuter and more fun.
