Mirror Component - Mirror Colour ?

Posted by Boothy on July 16, 2010 at 6:16am in IRender nXt ArielVision 3D Design Studio (Sket

Hi Al\Rich

 

To what extent should colour of mirror affect colour of reflection ? in example below the background is affected but the object reflection only has a slight tint compared to strength of colour used. In a recent visual with bright conditions whatever I tried I could not seem to achieve any colour effect.

 

thanks

    This is the new "fixed" mirror.

    (I guess mirrors do not act as light filters - the red is still reflected as somewhat red.)

    Mirror color (like a lamp color) works as a filter. If a mis red, then only the red part of the objects reflected should be colored, everything else should be black.

    However, your example is not working.

    A colored mirror should work the same as any other colored, reflective material.
    (There is nothing special about a mirror - we make a SketchUp material with the proper color and make it reflective. However, you can then change the material or reflection in SketchUp just like you would any other material)

    I will check it out.
    (Make sure you did not have "clay rendering" set or saturation set to 0 in the tone operator)

      I forgot one important thing - Metallic

      Metallic objects reflect in the color of the reflective object, non-metallic objects reflect in the color of the object being reflected.

      Mirrors should be marked as metallic - to give a result more like this:


      I wiill fix the mirrors (and check the Mirror Preset material) to make sure it is marked as metallic.
