I've been following this one with my typical wandering eye. Correct
me if I'm wrong, but a reflection map basically maps the image 360
degrees on the inside of a giant sphere around your object which is
then reflected off the object.
You would have to render a much larger picture of the object or you
would lose 50% of your image… Losing myself here… <g>
