      I would like to get the effect of having a reflection on the glass with a map bitmap
      I do not want to see the background image.
      Looks like it works very well
      Are these settings?
      Thanks

        Yes - that is where you'd put the reflection map.

        What do you mean by "Slow?"? Is that another question? You find it affecting render times?

                Ahhh ahhh ahhh, the gnome of the forum ... hopefully not mix things again!
                In your experience, what are the minimum dimensions for the spherical reflection map?
                Beware the gnome!

                  That would depend on the resolution you render in.
                  Fro background they need to be quite big - but in reflection maps I usually find that you can get away with smaller maps - but it depends on the scene.

                          Increase the multipler for your map.

                            and if the reflection is still a bit hazy and blury and mirror material is too dark?
