To anyone ! I have a major problem with 3D-Studio v2. I just can't make a object that mirrors well! The auto-reflection maps won't work the way I wan't them to! Does anybody know how to do this ?

Have you gone through the tutorial covering reflection materials? If so, and if you're still having problems, you need to leave a more specific message that describes exactly what you're trying to accomplish, and in what way the auto-reflection maps are not working for you. – Jack

Hello, Hansen As Gary mentioned, more detail would help us figure out what might be happening in your scene. You might also download a Troubleshooting Reflection Maps document that we put together. It's not in our forum yet, but you can have faxed back to you by calling our Fax Information System @ 415-507-5595 and downloading document #954. Its 13 pages explain some of the concepts behind reflection mapping in 3DS. It was designed with regard to R3 and R4, but should also hold valid information for R2. I hope this helps, Bob

Thanks alot all of you… I have now managed to solve the problem in question, merely by jumping around with different settings. I now make beautiful reflections without any hassle… But thanks anyway Thomas-
