Mirror with a different reflection

What I want to do is to have the girl show up in the mirror, but not the hooded figure.

I must be missing something.

Thanks!

    Mirrors in DAZ Studio work like real life mirrors. They simply reflect everything that is there :-)

    But there comes a little trick to my mind for what you want to achieve:
    Render the image a second time without the hooded figure (a spot render from the mirror part will be enough) and then put the mirror image without the hooded figure over the original one in a 2D software (GIMP, Photoshop,...)

    Use omnifreaker's UberSurface, SimpleSurface or UberSurface2 shader on the figure and set Visibility/Raytrace to "off" (Makes the figure invisible for most raytracing operations, including raytraced shadows).

    Aha! Much thanks.

    That's what I was missing:
