I am trying to find a mirrorfor a project I am currently working on, but can't seem to find one anywhere. Does anyone have a mirror object in their inventory? Or at the very least, tell me how to make one?

what do you mean for mirror, a gothic wooded one? or simply a reflecting surface?!

One that hangs on the wall. I have this western (cowboy) image I am working on, and a mirror would hit the spot.

Well, we have free frames on our site, you can take a frame and add a flat panel behind it to create your mirror....Sharen This is the link, if not check the other freebies on our site

Sharen, I did download your frames, but I don't know how to make the flat panel have a true mirror surface.

In Bryce, click on the flat panel, then go to your material editor, I think it is in the basic material, there is a material that is a mirror, apply that and vola, you have your mirror....Sharen

HardRock: Check the texture materials that came with Bryce. In "Fast and simple" or whatever the category is called is a mat called "mirror". Or, I think you can get the same basic effect by turning the diffuse and ambient color sliders to zero on your mirror object in the texture editor and turning the reflection slider all the way up. This should give you a plain mirror. Hope I got that right?

Sorry, SAMS3D, didn't mean to "step" on your answer, but it wasn't there when I started typing. :^)
