   Let's start, how to create mirror in Vray

   
   

   first run the Sketchup program on your computer or laptop. Make sure the Sketchup you are using has Vray installed.

   

   
   

   After that open the Asset Editor, then click Create Asset> Materials then select Generic.

   

   
   

   Rename this material so that later we can easily remember. To rename the material, right click then select Rename. (If not necessary, please skip this step)

   

   
   

   After that, on the Diffuse menu, we move the panel to the left until the color turns black.

   

   
   

   Then open the Reflection menu, then on Reflection Color, please move the panel to the right so that it becomes white.

   

   
   

   scroll down then open the Refraction menu, after that on the IOR menu change the value to 25.

   

   
   

   finally apply this material to the surface of the object by right clicking> Apply to Selection.

   
   

   we can add a render element to these settings. Here I have determined what elements I use for this mirror setting.
