Hate to say you're full of it, Kevin, but guess what?<g, only a joke!>
Have Greg use a material that uses a Refmap that is MUCH higher in detail for
his flat surfaces *only*. I sometimes use one based on Granite.Cel (comes with
3DS). The "busier" the Refmap, the more "reflections" one will see in a flat
face. Just increase the resolution/size of the map in a paint program until the
effect matches the non-flat surfaces.
Simple as that.
And you should see what Refraction Mapping (Video International/Digimation)
does for glass objects!
