Hi,
Can you explain how to manage mirrors, I find the doc very clear about this subject. You talk about transparent surfaces which causes reflections but mirrors are in fact opaque. Do we have to crrete 2 surfaces, the first transparent and a second behind, opaque?

Hi Alain,
Right now the only surfaces which produce reflections are transparent surfaces - like glass - which has a hardcoded Index of Reflectiveness set to 1.5. We can certainly look to add reflection as one of the material properties that can be set independently. I'll put in a feature request for this.
