Yeah, I didn't make any of the mistakes you listed. And in one case, I had the scene working earlier, although it was several years old.

I don't think I have the shader anymore, because I was trying to change it and ended up just using settings from the Dreamland dresser mirror. But obviously I want to figure out what's going on.

I'll see if I can find some time today to try again. I've got a lot on my plate at the moment.

I do have two questions though:

What colour should I set the background in the reflections node? is this normally black, or does it depend on something else in the scene?

What exactly is Reflect_Lite_Mult for? is it good for anything, or is it basically a leftover from days of old?
