I used P6's add a reflection to a surface in the material room, but the reflection comes out milky and unclear. I've tried to change the lighting and other parameters to no avail. Is there a setting in the material room that will create a perfect mirror out of any surface? Is so could someone post a screenshot of their material room settings to do this? Thanks...

I'm at work at the mo so no screenshot, but I think I remember the settings. On the Reflect Node there is a quality settings, I think 1 is near perfect. On the main shader under the reflect colour I think there is reflect strength, you'll probably need to set that to 1 too. They will effect your render time though. John :)

It's pretty simple. I put two mirrors here and set raytrace bounces to 2 so I'm getting reflections of reflections. If you only have one mirror in the scene, then bounces=1 is ok.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

For a mirror reflection, set the diffuse_value to 0 and make sure reflection_lite_mult is unchecked. The add reflection wacro literally adds reflection - that is an existing diffuse component persists (for example polished plastic has its own color and a reflection), where a perfect mirror has virtually no diffuse color. The quality parameter of the reflection node controls the number of rays used for a reflection, so increasing it will only reduce jaggies in the reflection, if there should be some, or if you're using soft reflection, it'll also reduce grain (at the expense of longer render times).
