Hi all,

I have a mirror in my poser file, everything imports into Octane, the render looks fantastic but i cant figure out how to get the mirror to reflect as it shows in poser, its all grey in Octane, is there a post or a note someplace I can read to help me figure this out or a step i must be missing to get mirrors to reflect in octane?

thanks,

There is probably a mirror material in the LiveDB (but you will not have access to that in the DEMO). Try glossy, with diffuse set to blank (or 0), specular set to white (or 1), roughness 0, filmwidth 0.

The Poser plugin demo is quite old, so I think you will really like the latest commercial release. I plan on updating the demo next week.
