I made a reflection map that is sort of like the actual scene.
But it is impossible in this map to capture the shadow correctly.
It is impossible in this map to capture the change in perspective when you move a prop. Look at the two spheres here. Do you see how the white box reflection is identical? But look at the true reflections I posted earlier. The sphere in the back left has a different perspective due to position, so that the left-most white prop is larger, and on the rightmost prop, the right white box is larger.
And in addition to the incorrect reflection of shadows and the incorrect perspective, I do not see the objects reflecting each other!
And if I were to change the ground color or the light color at all, this would become even more ugly.
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)
