Creating a Mirrored Surface

Creating a Mirrored Surface

(OP)
Glancing through the FAQ's and searching the forum, I didn't see this one, but I'm sure it exists somewhere:  I'm trying to create a mirror.  I know to select the surface, go to the face properties and click on the advanced button, but the settings for ambient, diffuse, specularity, shininess, transparency, and emission are eluding me.  Anyone?

Thanks in Advance!

RE: Creating a Mirrored Surface

You must be using PhotoWorks right.  The best mirror surface that I've come up with is to use "mercury" as a material(its under metals).  Then your options for ambient, difuse etc... will be selectable.  Before you make any modifications to those settings, select mirror from the material type drop down.  This should get you started.

Look in Help under:
"Appearance and Material Properties".
