glass environment reflections

[vizuals]

Hello

I have been strugling with glass environment reflections for some time now, and maybe you have the answer.

I put an image in the materialdialog->maps->Environment
And I check texture->UVW properties

but it doesnt react to the UVW mapping, and just repeats itself in the render. (not a mapchannel difference)

I managed till now without the texturebox, but it really sucks

What I want to achieve is:
A material which reflects the scene first and then a environment, but the environment should be mappable

Reflections are a bit of a tricky one, especially if you want a really high quality result - If you use a spherical environment then sometimes you dont get enough pixels in the space of the reflection and you get a really blocky image. One option would be to add in a plane to the scene off camera with a copy of your environment image mapped to it - you might get much better results.
