Mods,
This sort of harrassment looks like the work of a classic troll to me: smelly and offensive. All GWeb is doing is bitching for the sake of bitching, and he doesn't appear to have a sound leg to stand upon. I enjoy a good argument upon its merits, but there is no merit here. I'd suggest that if he is that totally obsessed with color temperature in shadows, that he go back to industrial CAD systems where such things are important and his views might even be marginally relevant. Yes, in producing steel, the color temperature is vital; but, no, in producing art it is totally absolutely positively unimportant. If I'm painting purple shadows in the snow that is because I'm seeing purple, not because I'm on my knees with a thermometer! It is not even a miniscule point.
It isn't fun. It isn't productive. It isn't helpful.
He can hop and down like Rumpelstiltskin and post every 10 minutes, and his fixation upon shadow temperature still will have nothing to do with any of the renderers or any of the possibilities inherent in this program.
If a THIRD of the posts in this thread are GWeb throwing rocks for the sake of exercising his typing fingers rather than his mind, I think it is time to lock this pup up. Me? I've got better things to do than feed trolls.
