Re: rendering reflections seperate from geometry

I would seperate out the major elements. Have the helicopter on one layer, and the reflections on the windows on another layer for compositing. In Lightwave, make two seperate scenes. One with the helicopter and one with the building windows. In the building windows scene, still have the helicopter in it, but in its properties have it set to unseen by camera in the render tab. It will still show up in the reflections.

Does this help?
