Hi,

I'm trying to create a mirror to add to a bathroom I'm creating.

my texture is defined as
#declare BathroomMirrorTexture = texture
{
        pigment
        {
                White
        }
        finish
        {
                ambient 0.1
                brilliance 6
                diffuse 0.7
                metallic
                specular 0.80
                roughness 1/120
                reflection 0.8
        }
}

but it comes out very cloudy - what am I doing wrong?

Many thanks

Duncan

Try reducing the diffuse value. For some good reflection finish settings
take a look at metals.inc etc.

You might also try and change the base color to <0, 0, 0> [Black], and
nothing else except for full reflection.  To get a misted-over affect,
color the mirror a light grey (mist color) and reduce the reflection
amount.
