Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 23 8:11 am)
How many bounces? Do you have transparency? It is 4 for reflection through transparency.
Quote - I'm trying to do a reflection of V4 in a mirror, but nothing shows up in the render - no reflection is cast. P-2012, raytracing checked, reflective material in the mirror, firefly render, IDL and a single specular light. What gives?
is this just an angle-of-incidence = angle-of-reflection thing? Then the normal of the mirror should point to something in the middle of Vicky and the camera. Just try it at home, with a real girl and a real mirror. It's basic optics / geometry.
As the material is concerned, I don't know why one should have reflection = 1 AND Specular = 2 as all channels together should not exceed 1 in the first place. I would say: reflection = 0.95 + specular = 0.05 and the reflection color might be a bit cyanic dus to the glass (again, try this at home; put a colored object in front of a mirror and compare the colors).

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
visit www.aRtBeeWeb.nl (works) or Missing Manuals (tutorials & reviews) - both need an update though
WAIT! Are you saying that Vicky is not real??
Interesting details- does the glass absorb some of the red? I'd not noticed that.
