Hi All,

I was wanting to make a custom mirror and opened up a mirror in S4S, but I was totally confused. The "mirror" portion of the texture has the backside texture on it.

How do I indicate what part of the mesh is supposed to be reflective?

Is there a tutorial available I can read or can someone explain what I need to do?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help MisterS! That totally worked! I had never opened the mirror up in blender to check it out because once I cloned it and saw it in the S4S viewer, and viewed the texture I was way confused and thought it was over my head. But, it was pretty straight forward, 3 cuts, one for the shadow, one for the frame, and one for the mirror portion.

But when I first loaded the game to test it, it wasn't behaving as a mirror, it was reflective, but not a mirror. It was shiny and looked glossy. Then I remembered I had turned reflections off when I was testing something, so once I turned it back on, it worked flawlessly!
