Rotate the room around the y axis or move the camera for different scenarios inside the room. RENDER SETTINGS - Enable Raytracing - Use only "Ray Trace Shadows" or No Shadows for every light on the scene. Don't use shadow maps for any light. - Set the "Raytrace Bounces" to 8 or higher if you want to have many interreflections between the mirror and/or floor. - Locate the objects and/or characters near the mirrors and find their best locations for producing the desired mirror effects (can be tricky). CAMERA OBSTRUCTION BY WALLS If you have the problem of a wall obstructing your scene in the rendering, just check "Remove Backfacing Polys" in the Poser's Rendering Settings and render the scene again. Or move and rotate the camera to other position where nothing is obstructing its view. SHADOWS The Mirror Room prop comes by default with shadows disabled. If you want that the room by itself cast shadows, you have to enable the shadows in the object properties. IMPORTANT!! As the Mirror Room prop is a closed surface when you enable shadows any directional light that you use will render inside the room a black scene. (Like inside of a room wth all wndows and oors closed illuminated by the sun). So you must only use spot or point lights located inside the room or directional lights with disabled shadows. Or do not enable the room's shadows and use any light, in this case only the objects or figures inside the room will cast shadows and not the rooom itself. ------------------ ---- ------------------- All of this products content was created by Ricardo Kawecki.
