Instead we recommend doing mirrors with shaders and render-to-texture, as in the current mtlFX template. This will also work in the A7 Commercial edition. When A7 is officially released, there will be also an A7 trial version. Until then, you can test A7 with the free lite-C version. It also contains the A7 prerelease engine.

Although, I agree with Ello, with this and Physics gone there isn't as great of an incentive to buy Pro. Though, i'll still need multiplayer, so will make the upgrade to A7pro for that.
