Meshing a mirrored coffee table

I did, I used the Reflections of the past as a clone, since the table already has a mirror.
But I want the mirror to be on top and on the four sides.
It seems as if one half of the table is transparent when I turn the camera around the table.
I tried to mesh it differently as well, but that did not solve the problem
It is getting late now, so I will try my hand at this again tomorrow.
Thank you for you quick reply....

Just wondering, should the mirror mesh part lie on a solid mesh, like the wood frame?
Somehow, by something I do, I lose the mirror's reflective effect.

I just realized the image might be mirrored like some of the rugs.
I will have a look at that as well.
Thanks for looking into it for me.

I see you cloned off of the coffee table from Movie Stuff, just so you know your table will require Movie Stuff to work in people's games, so I'd advise you to clone a basegame table so it's basegame-compatible so anyone can use it.

Looking at your mesh, you have the mirror part double-sided for some reason, so it's a rectangle within a rectangle. It is also not closed off on the bottom.

I sort of did what MisterS did (I presume) and cloned a basegame coffee table called Form and Function Industrial Coffee Table since it has an extra meshgroup. Originally it was set to PhongAlpha since it has "glass", but I changed it to FlatMirror in Warehouse materials tab. Removed the duplicate mirror rectangle from within your mesh and closed it off on the bottom. But I got the same results as you in your OP, parts are mirrored, parts are black, parts are invisible.

So I cloned a mirror, Floored by Symmetry Standing Mirror and redid the mesh again and same result. I'm thinking it's due to mirror faces intersecting, perspective-wise. I even underlaid the mirror with a solid wood rectangle but it hasn't done anything different.

I'm not sure what to suggest since I have no experience working with mirrors. Has to be something we're missing here because I'm sure I've seen mirrored furniture in the past. LindseyxSims made a mirrored dresser, you could try study it, although as you can see its mirrored parts will never intersect due to how the mesh is made. lindseyxsims.tumblr.com/post/128923532078/mirrored-dresser-v2

I think that's down to tuning.

If you're going to redo your mesh (say, with wooden edges so your mirror planes never overlap), you may as well just clone a regular coffee table as long as it has an extra meshgroup for your mirror, then manually change the extra meshgroup's shader from whatever to FlatMirror. For ex. you could clone the industrial coffee table I mentioned before, it has a "glass" part that's PhongAlpha. That way you won't need to worry about fidding with tuning.

Okay so I did a quick test and found that if I clone a table and manually change the shader, my mirror parts are just black. I guess I need to enable something else somewhere, but since this is my first and only time working with a mirror, I obviously have no idea.

So I cloned a mirror and quickly re-meshed your table. I basically used your old mirrored rectangle as the wood base, then created 5 separate mirror parts on each side. They do not actually "touch", so you get a thin edge on each side. This actually works, although it has a weird white plane on the long side. As you can see the mirrored planes do indeed work in a weird way, they are ignoring perspective and reflecting whatever is in line of sight.



This is all the time I have right now. Here's the working "table" .package, feel free to study/use it.

Thanks j, I have not had the time to look any further into this.
