Hello,

I have a very specific question.

I  need to render a scene as follows.

A checker board floor.. some objects on it... and a parabolic reflector 
with convex side facing up... and a camera (perspective) looking down 
straight at the parabolic reflector along it's axis of symmetry.

diagram:

       [Cam1]
         %%
         ^^

        .$$.
___   ,~   \  	  [###]
|1|  /para R\  [2] [ 3 ]
======================== floor(checker board)

paraR = parabolic reflector
cam1 = perspective camera

I need the reflector to be a perfect mirror and see the scene as 
reflected in the mirror alone.

thanks,

-sr
