Environmental Reflection

[imwarriors]

Animating the Grouper_fac from the lab section. I've got it inside a big sphere with one of the reflections toolkit images as the diffusion map (for the sphere). It works fine when I set the model's reflection map to "use global maps", when I check "use environment" instead, the render time is horrendus for even 1 frame @ half size. I'm on a G4 450 w/320 RAM. What gives?

When you click "Environment" it renders 6 images each direction and then uses the cubic environment for a reflection.
