Is there any way to get reflections on an object from an image yet, or is the rhino texturing ability too poor to map an HDR or jpeg to a sphere. This is what makes things that reflect look real. As of now all we can reflect is emitters in a studio setup, or other objects in the scene.

Are we going to have to wait until Rhino 4.0 has decent texture mapping abilities to achieve this?

Rhino 4? I can do it since Rhino 2 in Rhinoman|AIR.

Micha im not sure what you mean? This is maxwell forum. I can also do this in cinema 4d, but that does me no good with trying to do it in maxwell.

It is very frustrating seeing the 3ds and maya renders that people do and have textures all over the place. I feel like we are playing with rocks and sticks while they have brand new shiny bicycles. I feel your frustration. I have had crashes now also when I set the priority to low.
