Can someone tell me how to get the reflections to work in this product please?

Poser or Daz Studio or...? If DS, Iray or 3Delight? Which version of the product did you install - Poser or DS?

Etrigan

Somtimes I just cheat and replace the mirror material with Useful Mirrors. But that doesn't lessen Richard's question as I don't use Iray and always use DS 4.8.

Sorry Richard.....

3D delight in DAZ Studio 4.8

thanks for the link Steve, I'll keep it mind.

Ah, sorry - I was thinking of the Vanity PV sets, not the more recent freebie. Click on the mirror surfaces with the Surface Selection Tool and raise the Reflection Strength to 80% or 90% - might be worth opening a suppotr ticket to point outt hat it isn't currently reflecting.

Now that I think about it, I used the Vanity Collection in a render I did some time ago and the mirrors was just a black non-reflecting surface. This was in Iray.

Mirrors in Iray need different settings. Use the PBR Metallicity/Roughness shader and set the Metallicity value to 1.0. I also add Top Coat, with Layering mode set to Reflectivity and a Reflectivity value of 1.0

Thanks! I've still so much to learn.

Heh. Don't worry. I only discovered it through reading the forums.
