hello everybody,I thought: since you're posting so many good pictures- even after the shortest of acquaintance with ECII, I'm quite impressed; the least I could do, was to post one of my own.
Raytracing- let's come back to that- is NO problem. AND You can use any P4 / P5 material, but believe me, leave ECII's lights alone. You really get the best results that way, for now. The moment Raytracing adds extra, you get the update- and I ALWAYS keep word.
If you need extra Raytrace, use an extra spotlight. This doesn't bother ECII (though it will continue to ask you if you don't want to DELETE the "Strange, non EC Light"!), so you can mix the two rendering strategies as much as you like.
Anyway, here's my picture. It's pretty subtle, and perhaps you don't like it much. But I'm sure you perfectionists understand why I chose this to send, not a spectacular picture. To me, this picture says a lot about what kind of control ECII gives you.
Later on today, perhaps tomorrow, I will release a few freebies for EC II- in the Python section of this great site: complete Light Sets, for recreating by the Reader. The Lighting Environment above ("MoonLit") will be one of them. So if you like it, you can have it :-)
Cheers,
Paul Christiaan
