I notice you have Reflection_Lite_Mult turned on. This is the default setting and everybody leaves it and it is MONUMENTALLY USELESS and troublesome.
I can't tell you how many times this has been an issue.
This multiplies reflections with the amount of light hitting your object. There is no basis in reality for this effect. If I shine a flashlight on your face, does the sky reflected in your eyes get brighter? No it does not. Anyway....
I'm worried that your intensely bright light, multiplied with the reflection image in the sphere_map, is resulting in blowout.
I really don't like this Sphere_Map business either. It's 2007. We should always use real environments and use real reflection.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
