------- INSTRUCTIONS ----------

1)- SHADOWS
If you use shadows for every light casting shadows you must set to "Ray Trace Shadows".
Do not use shadow maps !

2)- RENDER SETTINGS
- Enable "Remove Backfacing Polys"  This will avoid walls obstructing the camera in some camera positions.
- Enable "Raytracing" 
- Set "Raytrace Bounces" to 6 - 12 or more. More bounces produce more mirror reflections, but turn
  the rendering more slower.

3)- EXTRA REFLECTIONS (MATERIAL ROOM)
The Mirror Room II has a "refraction plane" that adds more reflections to the rendered image.
In the "Material Room" look at the "refract" material of the MirrorRoom2 prop. It has the refraction index set to 4.5
by default. Changing this value the extra reflections change its positions.
With the refraction index set to 1.0 the extra reflections vanishes remaining only normal reflections.
I should like Poser would be able to use negative refraction indexes !!!!

4)- POSER PRO 2014 PROBLEM
Poser Pro 2014 has a problem with refractive materials. The refraction only works with direct rays, but doesn't bend
rays reflected from a mirror. With Poser 6 to Poser Pro 2012 it works fine without any problem.
If you are using Poser 2014 you will not be able to take full advantage of the "refraction plane". If you don't like the rendering 
results, turn the refraction index to 1.0 and so, you will have only normal mirror reflections.
Or set it transparent.

5)- LIGHT EFFECTS (MATERIAL ROOM)
The light bouncing forth and back from the mirrors if find nothing to reflect it will render back at the end. You can change
the black color to other color.
In the "Material Room" in the material "mirror" in the "reflect" shader set the "background" color to the color you wish.
You also can create a "foggy" look to the mirror changing the "specular_value" of the "mirror" material to a value between 0.0 and 1.0.
The effect will depend on the amount of light hitting the mirrors.

6)- SAMPLE SCENE POSITIONs
In the first promo image I used this settings:
CAMERA     x = 0 y = 0.36 z = 1.27  xrot = yrot = zrot = 0  Focal = 38 mm
PERSONAGE  x = -0.310 y = 0 z = 0
