I'd like to use an image as a "virtual" Duratran to dress out the 
interior of rooms that are only viewed through a window or door. I 
really don't want to render a bunch of furniture, etc. A static backdrop 
is more than sufficient for this project.

What I'd like to do, is have the image mapped on a plane or box, with 
the front surface (camera facing) normally opaque and reflective. Behind 
the object, I'd like to use a soft light to illuminate the object from 
behind.

This would allow me to keep a minimum of illumination/visibility even 
when the room passes into shadow or for "night" scenes.

Anyone have any thoughts on the best way to implement this? Or even if 
it's possible?
