I'm not sure what kind of mirror you are creating. If it is a flat mirror then from your description no problem. Are you trying to produce a bumpy "textured" mirror? I would suggest investigating use of a mirror mask. Still only the flat part of the mirror would reflect, the bumpy or etched part of the texture would not. The only other thing you could do would be create a multiface mesh which is actually bumpy or textured, seperate all the faces into individual objects and then give them each a flat mirror mapping. I don't know the context of your mirror and whether it is worthwhile to add so much detailed attention to it. Peter Landeck From GCP [12-Oct-95,20:00]
