I don't believe so, though am not sure. I've only ever seen them as elements of DTS exporters.

But they are so resource-heavy, using them among a number of disparate elements would be a huge processing mistake.

Like making a hotel with 300 rooms with mirrors in the bathroom and bedroom...and then relighting...I did that one.

EDIT: Oops. I meant, I don't believe so. I think it is limited to DTS models unless you modify the source to extend it to other objects. Bold'd what I meant to say.
