Amiga Reflections is a 3D graphics software developed by Carsten Fuchs for the Commodore Amiga . The software was later renamed Monzoom 3D.

It was first published in 1989 in the bookware series by Markt & Technik , and contained the program on diskette in the back cover of the book. The book served as both a manual and a tutorial on how ray tracing works. In addition to the actual software, the floppy disk also contained 3D models and scenes as sample files. Carsten Fuchs added an extended modeling component and an animation module to the software and published this version in 1992, also as bookware .

With version 4.3 in November 1998, Amiga Reflections was renamed Monzoom 3D and distributed by Computer Oberland. In 1999 a version of the software adapted to Windows appeared as shareware .

Monzoom Pro was published as a full version on the title page of issue 71 (March / April 2008) of Amiga Future on CD.

In June 2017, the distributor Oberland Computer granted permission to make the software version 4.5 available for free download via archive.org.
