The mirror is actually an illusion. In reality it's a hole in the wall that exposes a duplicate bathroom on the other side. The far bathroom object is scaled a la <-1,1,1> to create a mirror image. Having two bathrooms allowed me to have the "reflected" woman appear differently from the original. I did try to use a reflective surface for the mirror and have the two women in the same position. The old woman had a no_reflection attribute, while the young woman had a no_image attribute. However, I couldn't get the lighting to work quite right. In the interest of meeting the contest deadline, I went for the brute force approach and created two bathrooms.
They were posed and morphed (shaped) in DAZ|Studio, exported as OBJ, and converted into mesh2 using PoseRay. The clothes (Rollerblading for V3 pack with SK8R Gurlz texture) and hair (Sassy Hair) were purchased from the DAZ store. The women's skin is a texture also purchased from DAZ. The old woman's hair and skin texture were slightly tweaked in Paintshop Pro to add grey hairs, makeup and age spots. The varicose veins on the arms and legs were achieved by using normal {wrinkles scale 0.01}. Daz|Studio doesn't do a very good job in exporting hair, so I had to try a few different hair styles before settling on the Sassy Hair.
Everything else is CSG (with the exception of a few tubes created in Wings3D). I used Paintshop Pro to create the image_maps for the labels on the cosmetic bottles.
