I have an object and I am using raytrace for reflections. The problem is I want to render the the object with the reflections while keeping the environment hidden. Is there a way to raytrace the reflections without having to render the whole scene? I have my own ideas but I would like to hear suggestions.

You can always use raytrace material, and asign your environment map to the reflect slot....

Or you can create big sphere (not renderable, but visible in reflect/refract) with your reflection map assigned to it.

Hope i helped you ;)
