If I"m not mistaken, it is in main menu: Edit -> Surface -> Normals tuner.

Note, "projection" uses pivot helper point as the source point of projection. You need to place pivot helper (purple X cross) to correct position behind the mirror before you use normals tuner.

Thanks Oleg, it's right there! :D

However, for those wondering, this does not turn the surface into a mirror,
something is missing in the tutorial... :roll:

this is not a tutorial for ETS2/ATS. This tutorial describes how to adjust environment mapping, so it will look like mirror and will show surrounding in a mirror properly.

ETS2/ATS renders a rear mirror view for each mirror (left/right/front) with high quality onto texture. this texture is then applied to an object and you get a good-looking mirror.
