I didn't know any better about reflection maps and thought, what the hell, why can't I use a color picture in the reflection map area instead of a black and white one. Well, bloodsong, it works great. Actually some wonderful effects can be created using a color reflection map (I use web backs found on the net) and slight transparency of the material. Check out my picture in the Poser Gallery called "Some Do Not Die" the glowing fireballs in the eyes of the skull were done by placing a web back I found called Solar in the reflection map area; making the spheres about 50% transparent; and placing as a texture one of the pics out of the Magic effects download file in the Free stuff. I've also used this technique on the Zygote eagle to create an eagle that appears to be made of flame. Just haven't posted that pic yet because it was a test render, but if you want to see it just e-mail me and I'll send it along.
