Source 2 does indeed use parallax corrected cubemaps. You can set them up in the Destinations SDK pretty easily. Many engines support it natively now, including Unity. It's often listed as a 'box extents' field. I wrote my entire Master's dissertation on parallax correction of static cubemaps, inspired by BMCha's video, and came up with ways of doing it against all kinds of advanced geometry by doing wacky shit like passing mesh data into a pixel shader as a texture, extrapolating from that and raycasting against that. I'm using it in my Portal-spinoff Outside Influence, so folks will get to see it whenever I actually manage to finish it.

I've looked into parallax corrected cubemaps before and they fall flat when there is an object/occluder between the cubemap origin and the reflective surface. With empty concave scenes like the one shown, it does work pretty well. It's going to be great when real time raytracing becomes the de facto method for reflections and refractions.

[@RedeyeGaming]

I can't wait for the dozen or so videos on reflections and textures fron Philip when half-life alyx releases, going to be a lot of fun.

[@SianaGearz]

The paper quoted at 6:10 for sure is out of research by DONTNOD Entertainment, Paris, for their game Remember Me. Which has more reflection tricks than you can shake a stick at, because it takes place in the rain, a lot of rain, a lot lot of rain. And it runs smoothly on PS3. A lot of environments and setpieces contain parallax corrected cubemaps with added raytraced elements, and... it's locked 30fps on PS3 and Xbox360 - in modified Unreal Engine 3. The raytraced elements are limited to planar billboards, but they push them a little with spheroid mapping of enemy characters, so you basically fit a spheroid to each armature bone and that then vaguely represents the shape of a human, represented by flat billboards again for the purpose of reflection rendering.

[@HoldMeForever]

[@Xezian]

for propper mirror effect you can create a custom render target texture, and attach it to a render target camera. This is how they did the breen casts in half life life 2, only what you need to do is place the render target camera right infront of the mirror, barely sticking out, and then infront of the texture or as a part of the texture somethign that can blur it slightly. Then apply the texture to the mirror and you'll get essentially what you need. This may slow down the game however, I don't know, I usually only use these for making multiple security cams on multiple screens.

[@LitchiBorrower]

That wouldn't move when you do though, would it ? I think what you'd need to use are the fancy render target camera tech they built for portal 1 and 2 that's synced with player movement.

In the video when I thought you'd given up, I was about to comment and link you the exact video and paper you ended up showing.

[@zig8925]

It's funny you call it parralax. I just call this box projected cubemaps. And reflection probes that i've worked with in unity have an area ox effect, wich is a box. If you have box projection it uses that box as reference for how it should distor the cubemap. If you set the box size to match your room, then it should work correctly. You can actually see an example of how it works in uncharted 4 and lost legacy in puddles, where the "boxes" all have different sizes, to match the area for the puddle

You just described box-projected cube map reflections. It's a well known technique but has its limitations (your reflections all are technically on planes defined by the box - instead of infinity like in case of standard cube map reflections). There are further extensions which require additional z-component for each cubemap face (and you can do texture space ray marching to calculate more correct projection, instead of box projection). There are also superior techniques (ray tracing, voxel octree cone tracing, SDF reflections, etc.), but also require more computation power.
