Quick Reference

Reflection maps simulate a scene reflected on the surface of a shiny object.

Use a reflection map to simulate a scene reflected on the surface of a shiny object. For reflection maps to render well, the material should be shiny, and the reflection image itself should have a high resolution (at least 512 by 480 pixels). (Reflection maps are not available for Realistic and Realistic Metal material types.)
