Hmm, well it seems totally cool, except I don't understand why one would use the Bryce sun to light a scene, at all? I mean, what it really comes down to is NO SOFT SHADOWS? Also, I'm concerned about using the Skylab in general. I mean, there's a time and a place for such silliness, but do these rules exclude me from using my cool clouds? There's no way the Skylab clouds can keep up with volumetrics. They have no internal shadows... SO, to paraphrase : - NO soft shadows - NO cool clouds Not that anyone cares, but why would I make a scene like that? It seems silly, and all things considered I'm curious how having shitty shadows as MANDATORY on this one is going to help us make better trees... Perhaps I missed an important point that Bryster made, but am I right about this one or am I just being a dork here?
