Reflection of mirror incorrect

[lea.casagrande]

Hello!

I am having an issue with the mirror material, it will not reflect the image that I have for the outside. Can someone help please? Here is a picture to help visualize the problem.

Sorry but I don't understand. What material isn't working well?

The mirror is not reflecting the outside. I used this picture for the outisde and I would like to see it in the mirrors as well.

 Can you see the problems with the mirror on the right wall? They do not reflect the outside. Could you help me?

Can you upload the model to check?

What it the image it won't reflect?  A Decal?  Try a PNG.

You mean Planting RPCs. Check Cast Reflections under the Type Properties of the Trees.

It's not a decal, its a background image for my rendering. 

Its a JPEG. Changing it to PNG did not make a difference, it will still not reflect in the mirror.

Fake the background with a panoramic decal.

This seems to be the solution! I'm not sure how to create a panoramic decal though, could you give me some steps? Thank you so much!

Model a curved wall, create a decal type from the image, place it on the wall and stretch it.  You will need to play with the size and location of the curved wall based on your camera angle.
