lol - but you missed the obvious one for around here...
...FLAME-THROWERS!

@lordstormdragon

lol - I thought that one would provoke a response, it was meant to ;-)

It's like this; I remember you once called me a beginner, and as an artist...yeah OK...I'm a beginner - I'm WELL aware of that. Now that didn't, and never will bother me, because I have NO intentions whatsoever of EVER becoming an "artist", I simply don't have the time, patience or talent.

However, when you hint at me being a beginner in terms of technical knowhow with a render engine - that pisses me of BIG-TIME!

On more than one occasion now, you've told me that I should check out Ornlu, as if to say...unless you do, you're going nowhere fast.

Wrong again, I don't need to look into other peoples work in order to develop my product.

PRO-RENDER exists because of one thing...INNOVATION!

You cannot innovate if you live by a Bryce 5 manual, or simply build upon what "others" are doing - so I won't ;-)

Just because someone says something isn't possible, doesn't make it so.

"TA's falloff is, in fact, squared. I will prove this to you, if logic can possibly prove anything. Unless you are re-coding Bryce 5.01, that is. I've seen no proof of this. So far, your render technique is limited to the above-type scenes..."

(ANSWER)
First of all, it's not limited to any kind of scene, if you wanted dark'n'moody with soft lights, it'll work equally as well. Now 'bout the TA, like I said, YES, it's got falloff...but like I also said, PRO-RENDER solves it.

INNOVATION - remember! Just because you and Ornlu haven't solved this problem, it doesn't mean that I haven't.

I hope that final comment is enough to make you realise that whenever you make such "likewise" comments, it's both pathetic in it's nature and in it's intention.

You say you have respect for me, so I hope that's still the case - if not then that's fine as well. But Jared, more than anything, I hope you're not going to be one of the "idiot brigade" who'll get a kick out of dissing something which is actually f*cking good at what it was designed to do (make PRO-fessional output easy).
