Hi folks, I've been really quiet lately, but that's only because I've been busy working on Anything Glows 2. I'm hoping to go to beta later this week, but here's a sneak peak at what's coming. 1. Environment Lighting - Inspired by Steve McQuinn's Skull Session images, AG2 will create environmental lighting effects with a simple menu command. Here's a few samples: 2. Master Lights - We couldn't make Carrara support master lights like it does with objects and shaders, but we've got the next best thing. Using AG2, you can change the properties on as many lights as you want with a single window, simply select the lights or groups of lights you want to change and use AG2's Master Light to set the properties. 3.Speed - AG2 is about twice as fast as AG1 and if you've got a Pentium III, AG2 now supports Intel's Internet Streaming SIMD instructions for even more speed!

It can't come soon enough! :) Mark

Sweet! Eric - Great stuff. Keep us updated. Regards, Clint
