Hi,

I'm making a product shot which has a mirror style dental tool laid next to it. I need the mirror to give a true reflection of the product which has a partially reflective surface controlled by an image mask, only the reflective part is not showing up in the mirror; it just shows the diffuse underneath the mask.

Is there a way to get a true reflection in the mirror?

Thanks.

My bad...I just increased the glossy depth in the kernel: direct lighting and that sorted it.
