X6 beta no mirror reflections

[perryh]

I can't get p-solid mirrors to work with the standard mirror texture applied to it at all. I'm wondering if I didn't get the mirror material that works with the latest update.

[Chiefer]

These are all the mirrors i could find...i think.



all worked fine.

I found the mirrors, they are the the cathedral and craftsman mirrors in the library. I have not updated to the latest X6 because ...... for reasons I will not discuss again...... but I may have to today because my library is now disappearing (yes, working on the mac again)...... I am getting so Pi******ed off with this program, it is a constant struggle with new and surprising behaviors popping up.

Looks like you are using the two mirrors I found. I have attached the file, open it and see if the craftsman and cathedral mirrors are working for you. As I said, I have not upgraded yet. I think I will today, but I am afraid of what awaits me, I guess I will cross that bridge when it comes up. Here is a pic of the two mirrors that do not work. You can see a copy of the bad mirrors where I applied a working mirror material and they are working.

It's not a big deal, easily fixed.

Is there an upgrade?

Anyone else using window 8 not getting reflections on p-solids. I get some reflections with some lib. items.

Perry, are you saying you are not getting reflections on psolids?

They are all ok on my system. - both are ok here.

[Chiefer]

That's my version - 16.0261x64. there was no upgrade since beta 2.

This is weird, as you can see in my pic, the two bottom mirrors are bad, the top two are good. I renamed the mirror material on lower mirror to MIRROR BAD, this changed the name of the material on the other bad mirror material, however the mirror material NAME on the two good mirrors on top did not change name. Therefore there are two different materials even though they are both labeled initially labeled MIRROR. But somehow, my bad mirror material on your machine is good, weird.

Weird. They should fix this before the official release or next upgrade.

Should check mirror option in preview option to work.

Well, I am confused. Starting when public beta came out, every time I open the mac it states there is a new version and would I like to upgrade, I say no because I am scared. I think I received the same message with the pc, I think, I thought I upgraded, but maybe not, when I now open the pc, I do not receive the upgrade question on the pc.

So I am asked if I want to upgrade the mac, but I do not receive that message when I open pc. I will call TS on Monday and see if I can get this worked out. About two weeks ago Doug suggested I contact TS to get this worked out........ I have not done that yet, but I will now, especially since my library is now disappearing.
