I am a student and new to using downloaded props from online. I have a mirror prop (FBX) from turbosquid. Based on the description copied below, I thought it would actually reflect objects in the scene, but no there are no reflections in the viewport or playblast.
In Attribute Editor, in the materials tab, I clicked the arrow next to "Color". It shows under "File Attributes" it's linked to the downloaded .png image file. I clicked reload.
I tried assigning new texture by right clicking. Phong, adjusted reflectivity to 1.
I have "show reflection" turned on for the character I want reflected.
Object description:
Textures: 1024 x 1024, Colors on texture: Blue, black.
Materials: 2 - Plastic, mirror.

Mirrored.
Subdivision Level: 1
Origin located on handle-center.

Thanks for any help!
