no per object reflection maps. in some cases they are more than
enough and by using cubical or spherical reflections, they are even
quite accurate. the best thing is that they are fast...

i'm hoping that we'll see a reflection map shader with strength
slider and texture map slot. ideally it would have option for
spherical or cubical map. you could render your own map for cubical
maps if you want real objects around you to be reflected.

anyway, it would give enormous speedup for animation renders.
