Rendering with two Mirrors

Is it possible in PW2 to get reflections bounced off of two mirrors? (i.e.
a periscope)?

I can get reflection from either mirror one at a time, but can't get the
pair to reflect.

Yes, it is. When PWx-2 first came out I did one of those infinite mirror
things, where I had a two way mirror and a regular mirror on opposite sides
of a candle - had candle reflections go off into the distance (actually
about 30 reflections, but it was enough to get the point)
Under document properties, be sure to activate 'ray tracing', enable depth
settings, and set the number of reflections up to what you need. If the
light ray can only bounce twice, that is all it will do even if you set the
number up to 20. FYI - old PWx used 4 reflections, which is a pretty darn
good place to start.

 

Ed,

Thanks! I had just found the options setting for number of reflections. It
works.

Thanks again for your reply.
