Quote - I'm not sure what you mean by that. Reflection maps are used to fake reflections on (usually metalic) objects, but Poser certainly can and does compute reflections of the surrounding environment if set up to do so in material properties, eg. mirrors, crome, glass etc. And objects (with light emitting enabled+IDL) will "reflect" their diffuse colour to surrounding objects (radiosity).

I didn't explain myself well. The refleciton maps can be used in Poser to simulate reflections even when there is nothing to reflect in the environment. This technique is used often, for example for creating eye reflectiions.

Cheers.
