just wondered if the mirror sets automatically reflect your character?

    Yes, as I recall, but the figure would need to be lit on the side facing the mirror.

    As long as you have decent lighting it will reflect you. Lighting is very important when it comes to mirrors

    By the way, the reflection only shows in a render. It will not show in viewport preview.

    It's also vital to have the mirror aligned so that the reflection of your figure does actually bounce towards your camera. Getting this right is as simple and trivial a problem as shaving the back of your neck with a straight razor using two mirrors (hint: it isn't). ;-)

    Here's a quick test render I did when I first got Reflect Me. The lighting isn't my best, but I was just looking to see if the reflections worked nicely. The render was done in DS 3 Advanced, but I just checked, and for some reason I hadn't tried it in DS 4.0 Pro (I don't have DS 4.5+).

    The only thing missing, I believe, is the desk, and I set up the scene with two copies of Blondie9999's Backdrops Made Easy, one in back of the camera so the wallpaper would show up in the reflection, and V4 standing sort of in front of the standing mirror.
