@GeriAQuin Scar's real name is Taka, a Swahili word meaning 'dirt' or 'rubbish', which explains why he went along with "Scar".

@LoriQuaid The reason for this is very simple:
It was often secondary characters that had orange hair, as an easy way to distinguish them from the main, and background characters.
This sort of thing is used a lot in comic, and anime too.

Fast-forward to current year, and "the message" is pushed into every piece of media.
Slowly at first... Turning a main character black would be too much even for the normie fans.
So a secondary character, one that was often ginger/red-head was race-swapped instead.

They would've done it with a main character if they thought it would work, but Miles Morales (who still isn't Spider-man, and never will be) proved it cannot be done.

That is why lead characters are now being replaced entirely.
Superman is succeded by his gay son, Hawkeye has a daughter (probably gay too, most people in comics are these days), Ironman is killed-off and the black female Ironheart takes his place, etc...

@picandor @susie I thought that was cancelled, did they really go ahead with it?

@brokenshakles The shader isn't showing when the player isn't in the collider.
The collider itself isn't present when the mirror isn't close enough to display LOD 0.

No AAA company does optimizations during development these days, it's always post-release, since they use their player base as QA.

@brokenshakles It would take so very little to add a reflection probe to the mirror prefab to make the mirror reflect the room, at the very least.

Then for the player:
Add a stencil shader to that, to show a mesh only when viewed through the mirror surface.

Finally, a trigger collider checks the players approach, and creates a static mesh instance from the player's skinned mesh (this is built-in to most engines, such as Unity and Unreal, and is used to create trails, pic attached).

I'm not saying it's trivial, by any means.
But when the game costs upwards of $200M, it needs to look a bit better than that.
