Hi guys!

I'm trying to do a simple mirror with no deformation and I need some help.
I've used the metal and then chosen the mirror preset.

Can anyone tell me a way to remove this deformation?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Bruno,

it has to do something with geometry of the mirror. Try to not use any smoothing algorythm on mirror object. You can also try object with minimu polygons or oposite - to divide object and have more polygons on surface (with any smoothing). Hope it helps ;-).

Yes, it looks the mirror has been smoothed with the bevels or side faces.

As a side note, for the mirror material, if you increase Nd value you will get clearer reflections, with lower ones they get darker.

Cheers!
