Mirror

[BRXSI]

Hi,

I am modeling a living room and I need to know how can I creat an actual mirror hung on the wall of the room (material, texture, reflections ...etc.). Any suggestions ! Thanks.

Well it should be fairly simple my friend. If you think of what a mirror is its just a refective surface. The most important thing is to get something reflecting in your material so it looks like a mirror. A lot of beginners to 3d forget that and wonder why there reflective surfaces look black or grey (depending on your background colour)

Best thing is try it for yourself and have a play around thats the best way to learn. Give it ago and post your work in one of the forums people will point you in the right direction.

cheers

Well, it's a little more than just a reflective surface. There's a sheet of glass in front aswell. Not to mention all the little grimey things that can lurk on the glass.
