Reflection probes are used to create a mirror like scene. This helps in seeing the reflection of the meshes in it. To create a mirror like scene, you need to call the class and the required meshes wherein you want to see reflection. Later, you need to add the meshes to the renderlist as shown below. Consider you have skybox with water surface and you need to show the clouds or tree reflection or the bird flying in the water, you can do so using reflection probe and the meshes created can be added to the renderlist as shown below.
Syntax
var probe = new BABYLON.ReflectionProbe("main", 512, scene);
probe.renderList.push(yellowSphere);
probe.renderList.push(greenSphere);
probe.renderList.push(blueSphere);
probe.renderList.push(mirror);
