Bruce Kieffer Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Anyone have a good mirror texture they could send me please? I've been battling this for a while with no luck. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 You can create a texture and give it mirror reflection when you edit it. Is this not what you want? Quote Link to comment

Bruce Kieffer Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks Wes. That's kind of where I was with the texture. I want it to look more silver and to have that look without reflecting another image. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 OK. I just used your mirror texture in my exploded view document, and I find it really cool that it reflects the back side of the object in front of the mirror. I'm going to try and reduce the reflection a bit, but I think it will work for me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Got it! I tweaked your mirror a bit and got what I need. Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Mind sharing your final result, Bruce? I need a mirror texture for something I'm working on. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Bill, Find the texture in the attached file. Wes's mirror texture is in there too. Keep in mind, lighting has a dramatic affect on the mirror. Play with the texture settings to see different results. I have the reflection dumbed down because I didn't want that to distract from my drawing. I'll post a PDF of my drawing here in a day or so. Quote Link to comment

billtheia Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Really nice, Bruce. Did you make those hinges? Quote Link to comment
