George, I'll cross-post my reply over onto AmigaVend and see what Mike H. comes up with. One thing is for sure: a user setting up an especially-colored background (i.e. 0,0,0 or 255,0,0 or…), designed for post-render removal by an external image processing program, will _not_ get the same result as good ole Imagine's "Genlock sky" button, simply because any reflections will pick up the background color and become transparent when genlocked; "Genlock sky" created a transparent background, but the "real" environment (reflection maps, +/- Zenith colors), _not_ the genlock color, showed in reflective objects. Blaq!
