"Actually I don't think Mr. Sapient ever gave us what his render settings were, or even if he had enabled raytracing in his render settings." True, but judging from his sample render, it appears raytracing must have been enabled, since there is "some" resemblance of reflection going on there, and it's obviously not a reflect map, since he doesn't have one plugged into his reflection slot. We can only assume what his render settings are, of course, but low raytrace bounces (like only 1 or 2) will typically give back the same result. :-)
