...not so much thematic variety, I'm afraid :) but there's a catch: I finally figured out how to use the "backlight" effect with bitmapped (Onyxtree, Xfrog) textures without having to make the objects one-sided, and thereby destroying the overall apperance. For me this is HUGE! Actually, if you do things "by the book" it can't be done, but I know now that Vue can be fooled into doing it :) I don't think I'll ever need to use procedural leaves again! Vue 5 Infinite render, 7 hrs. in "Superior", volumetric atmosphere with global ambience. All objects and texures by me (except the default Vue "Reeds"). Trees made with Onyxtree, with bitmapped textures. Postwork in Photoshop for colours/levels correction (and framing/signature, of course). Hope you like this - thanks in advance for any comments etc. you feel like leaving - they'll be very much appreciated. Have a nice day - Lars
