Dave,
Thank you for the link to the video.
I have watched this and a few other videos and think I applied the correct settings but the result is only half my expectation.
Here is the file with a moving light emitting onto a mirror.
I can see the reflection of the beam in the mirror but can not get it to show me both the reflection and what would be the beam bouncing off of the surface and continuing.
I am wanting to see 3 beams in the render, the light from the instrument, the light beam reflecting in the mirror and the beam that bounces off the surface.
Another question is how does focus and fall off settings react to the beam bouncing off a surface.
Perhaps you could be kind enough to point out what I'm missing here it would be much appreciated.
