I'm sure you've seen those pictures where someone is holding a mirror up to their face and taking a selfie. Well, the mirror pose is a way to take that same idea and use it in a blender render.
To do this, you'll need two things: a mirror object and a camera. The mirror object can be anything that's reflective, like a glass or metal sheet. The camera can be any camera, but I recommend using an orthographic camera so that the perspective is flattened out.
Once you have your mirror and camera, position them so that the camera is pointing at the mirror. Then, in the render settings, under the "Scene" tab, check the "Mirror Camera" option.
Now, when you render the scene, the camera will render what it would see if it were looking in a mirror. This can be a great way to create interesting compositions or to get a different perspective on a scene.

A: There is no built-in way to do this in Blender, but there are a few ways to achieve a similar effect:
- Use the Mirror Modifier:
With your object selected, go to the Modifiers tab in the Properties window and add a Mirror Modifier. In the modifier settings, enable X-Axis Mirror, Y-Axis Mirror, or Z-Axis Mirror, depending on which axis you want to mirror along.
- Use the Mirror command in Edit Mode:
With your object selected, go into Edit Mode and press W to open the Specials menu. Choose Mirror, then enable X-Axis Mirror, Y-Axis Mirror, or Z-Axis Mirror, depending on which axis you want to mirror along.
- Use the Transform Orientation tool:
With your object selected, go into Edit Mode and press Ctrl+Spacebar to open the Transform Orientation menu. Choose one of the Mirror options, then press G to grab/move the object. The object will be mirrored along the chosen axis.
