One thing to keep in mind is that the Auto Reflections must have something to
reflect. I often put flat panels behind my camera with a strong light and face
normals pointing toward the object. This gives the surface something to reflect
back.
Reflection maps don't require mapping.
I'm not sure if it will help, but try using a camera and dollying way back
with a telephoto lens (200mm or larger) and try adjusting the perspective to
flatten the scene more if necessary. It's often hard to judge where you are in
space with a user view. Don't forget Lights/Spot/Place Hilite, either.
If the problems persist and you aren't under a severe deadline, email the prj
file to me after Siggraph and I'll see what I can do to help. Are you going to
Siggraph?
