Re: MIRROR EFFECT
sclee, your tutorial is great but not very useful for all the people who do not understand you language(( Sorry but can you make tutorial in English?
I try to make some custom-shaped mirrors so hardly and I think that your way is easy so I want to try it but not completly understand what to do .

Re: MIRROR EFFECT
sclee, thank you for the tutorial, I really tried to do my best. But the result is not goog as you can see on my picture:

I think that I was made a mistake somewhere, but where is it? confused

I'll try to find, becouse I need a round mirror and some types of different-shaped mirrors...

Re: MIRROR EFFECT
As explained previously, the "full" mirror effect can be obtained only for OBJ parts starting by sweethome3d_window_mirror. If you want to do it with Sweet Home 3D, this implies that you'll have to use Export at OBJ format, rename the mirror part in the OBJ file then reimport the modified OBJ file.

Re: MIRROR EFFECT
Hi
I have a mirror that works, but sometimes it renders only grey. Does somebody know this problem? I have made a video and in some rooms the mirror works, in others not.

Re: MIRROR EFFECT
Any chance someone could explain this in a step by step manner, i keep getting something that looks like frosted glass.
Appreciate any help

Re: MIRROR EFFECT
Hi, I can send you my file. I have forgotten how I did it, but it works. Its just a cuboid with all the sides mirroring, you can shape it as you need it. I don't see how I can make attachments here, can you tell me how I can send it to you?
