Mirror Workflow

Material Naming for Meshes

Make sure that mirrors UV cover the entire map area to avoid resolution issues!

Once you finish moving the mirrors to the correct 3D spot, the mirror camera may be off, so you can further adjust it with the feature below.

Step 1: type into GE-Lua console BeamNGVehicle.mirrorDebugEnabled = true
Step 2: step2: find mirror you want to adjust, lets say this one:
Step 3: Open Notepad++ and press Ctrl+F, switch tab to “Find in Files” in the window that pops up, then search for the name of that mirror with filter *.jbeam and directory set to the folder of the vehicle you’re editing (may also work with entire vehicles folder, however search will take longer)
Step 4: Click one of the search results that pops up
Step 5: Locate the "mirrors" section
Step 6: Type the parameters from the debug into the JBeam - refBaseTranslation refers to the XYZ position sliders, and baseRotationGlobal is here (you get it by adjusting the XYZ sliders and then typing the rotation parameter received from it into the JBeam):
Step 7: Save the JBeam file
Step 8: Reload vehicle with Ctrl+R
Step 9: Done!

Some vehicles may have the same mirror defined multiple parts, for example center mirror in vivace:

In these case you need to check which part you have equipped at a given time by checking this checkbox in parts selector:

Name of the part is shown above the "flexbodies" and "mirrors" sections, as shown in this screenshot:

We should avoid using nrm offset sliders for adjusting mirrors, adjustment of the mirror aim should be done on mesh side.
