"but now p5 can handle transmaps in the reflections" Woohoo! ~does a happy dance~ Yes, normally, you only have lights set up to render from one side of an image... if your mirror is reflecting the backside of your character/scene, then you need to have lit it from that direction as well - Poser doesn't really have an ambient light setting.
