Mark, the standalone beta version will came out today. It will be 4 time faster than the the alpha. I don't have renderings to show for now. You're right about nature images on the site, but i don't know why they are so ordinary. But if you look in the forum you will find some nice things that can change your idea:-) BTW, i'm in period of great changes regarding softwares, i'll keep you informed... -TOXE
