Hi Scott, Sorry about the delay, but I had a little luck with your model. It's not the best of solutions, but it works. First of all, I'm still not sure why the last two letters lost their reflections. The only thing I have encountered that comes close to this problem is on some of my models, I'll create the object and apply the flat mirror exactly as the manual describes. I'll rend the model and it looks great. I'll then save the model, then open it up the next day and now the flat mirror doesn't work. I end up having to re-create the object all over because nothing I do let's me attach a flat mirror to the original. To work around your model, I hid the last too 'E's. Then I made a copy of the first one and moved it over to where the last ones were. After rendering this scene, all the letters had reflections. I then went to the keyframer and duplicated your keys from the original object the new objects. Granted, it's kind of convoluted, but I don't know of any way short of re-building the last two characters to get the flat mirror applied as expected. I'm still trying to track down why this could have happened. If I can find anything solid, I'll let you know. Bob
