Revit 2013
I modeled a disco ball with hundreds of faces for a nightclub rendering. The material used has been both mirror and chrome plated steel. When I hit it with an intense spotlight I get no light reflecting off the ball.
Does Revit not support light bouncing off mirrors?

If you check out this thread: http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=14632 you will see that Revit supported mirrors when it used accu-render. I haven't done any recently so I don't know.

The mirror itself works just fine. The problem is that light itself does not reflect off the mirror. I was trying for the tiny sparkles everywhere that come off of a disco ball.
What I was going to try for next was to make a new material that looks almost exactly the same as a mirror but lets light pass through. Inside the ball I'm going to try putting a studio light and see what that does.
