Hi team, just bought Curiosities Paneled Mirror https://www.daz3d.com/curiosities-paneled-mirror but it doesn't mirror anything. The product has Mirror and Mirror Reflect categories under the surfaces tab and have messed around with settings after some searches on here, including settings advice from wancow. Viz
Diffuse Colour 255 all around (white)
Diffuse Strength: 0%
Glossiness: 100%
Specular Colour: 128 all around (Gray)
Specular Strength: 100%
Reflection Colour: 255 all around (White)
Reflection Strenght: 100%
I have not used stand alone mirror props before, I'm used to mirrors included in a preset scene reflecting automatically so thought this would do the same. Silly me :( Pic attached for illustration.
So, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

Your are probably using a 3d delight product in iray.
Apply iray shaders in this is the case.
Actually the store page only mentions Poser mats.
In the What's Included and Features section it does list DS material presets but like gerster pointed out they will be for 3Delight render engine not Iray.
A little illumination, thanks guys. I will push some buttons :)
I probably need to change my signature as the Iray Uber shader is pretty complicated to the point that the pushing buttons and see what happens technique could drive you mad. I would instead suggest you look through you content collection to see if you have an Iray ready mirror and copy its settings
Me again! Er...how do I render in 3Delight and not Iray guys? I've only ever used default settings on render, can't find anything that mentions 3Delight. Is it to do with Shaders perhaps...?
jestsmart - Ahah! I do have a preset mirror. On it! (I'm very patient and do have plenty of time, I like pushing buttons and clicky things)
Go to the render settings pane and switch from nVidia IRay to 3Delight.
Sven Dullah, d'oh! So obvious, I missed that, thank you
Hmm...changed to 3Delight engine, applied settings as advised in my first post but still no reflection. Back to the drawing board.
As an obsevation though, 3Delight renders in seconds, almost instant!
Update: Forgot to apply Iray Uber surface, applied that, copied settings from a pre installed mirror I have, went back to Iray render engine and BOOM! I have a reflection! Thank you all, geniuses (If that's a word)
*Continues to push buttons* :)
