warrenwest Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hi folks, I hope help is at hand. I have just switched from iMac to PC ( see specs below ). It has been a nightmare to say the least since I'm not the most technologically capable person I know Now I have lost reflections in mirrors. Reflections are turned on in camera view but even in the library the mirror material is showing as a dull paint. Whats up with that? Chrome material is reflecting but not the mirror doors to the right of the towel warmer, they are just dull grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrenwest Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 update: below is a screenshot of the bathroom. There is a mirror on the wall. it is reflecting. The cabinet on the right has the same material applied to it and yet is not reflecting. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has something to do with how the cabinet symbol was initially built. Using psolids vs moldings vs slabs vs something...... I can't quite put my finger on it but I have seen the behavior before. Post the small plan so we can check it out. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric, you might be onto something. Maybe it has something to do will cabinets. I could not paint the soffit a mirror material. Maybe somebody from CA will clarify the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKitchenAbode Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 No problem here making a cabinet door a mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 What I said is that another mirror will not reflect from the original mirror 2 mirrors won't work correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is kind of a way to do it. Here is the same pic with another cabinet on the opposing wall. You can see the image in it shows in the main front mirrored cabinet. It's not 100% accurate but might be better than just a grayed out solid. The trick is that the main front cabinet panels are mirror and in the other opposing cabinet the panels are polished chrome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
