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! -Alan
