ll…, or, more precisely, on the floor. Do you know of a strange behavior of flat mirrored surfaces resulting in mirror images that are physically impossible? Please, let me explain this. I have modelled the logo of my company as a lofted text object sitting on a plane in a straight line. The surface of the plane is flat mirrored as well as the front faces of the text which are perpendicular to the plane surface, of course. Plane and text are individual, separate objects. The mirror image in the plane is ok. The odd part is the mirroring in the text faces. You can see the _first_ letter mirrored in the _last_ letter (which is across the whole screen (er, the distance of reflection, not the letter)) and, even better, rotated by what seems to be 90 degrees. Is there an explanation for this naughty (tsk! tsk! tsk!) behavior, maybe buried deeply in the theory of speeded up flat mirror mapping? Or do you know a better workaround than mine (which is to render the picture twice; one with the last letter hidden, the other with the first letter hidden; then cut and paste both together in PhotoStyler)? Or do I have to reflect upon the nature of reflections? Volker PS: Why is it that my messages keep getting longer and longer as I'm writing them? It MUST be the ozone hole…<G>
