text mirroring

Is there a "mirror" type function in Motion? I'm trying to put text over water and see the reflection. The only rotation I've found rotates the text in 2D 180, so that it is upside down, but the letters are not true reflection. I can't seem to find a 3D control, so that I can flip the text upside down, and then rotate the letters.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Cameron

Use a negative value for the Y scale property.

I think applying the basic 3D filter to a duplicate of the text and setting the X value to 180 degrees would work. Then apply distortion to the text for a more real effect.

perfect!.....the 3D filter with a little distortion was it.

Thanks to both of you,
