Hi everyone,

i have got a problem using Octane with a mirror material.

as you can see the mirror reflect the environment but not the light. Is that possible? i mean, the mirror can be used for reflecting a light(blackbody emission)?

i tried to increase the amount of glossydepth or spculardepth but nothing happened.

Hope someone will help me searching for a solution.

Are you using the Direct Lighting kernel by any chance? If so make sure it's set to "GI Type: Diffuse" or you could try using either PT or PMC... I tend to prefer using those kernels when doing things like this anyway 8-)
