Greg: I haven't checked out your file yet but have you tried an AUTOMATIC FLAT MIRROR REFLECTION on your cpu base? This would be RAM intensive an is spelled out in the manuals. If you can get away with it you might try applying a bitmap as an added texture which would serve as the reflection. Depending on what is animated this could save you some render time. A cubic environment map may be worth a look as well. – Bob Ritger
