"I think we need to DEMAND from E-On that they let us in on the secret of, "Just exactly how big a Vue Unit is." If we knew, we could probably devise a scheme to normalize the scale of EVERYTHING!" ... Steve, YES! I emphatically, 1000% agree! I've actually been secretly driving myself crazy trying to figure it all out, and to those who might think it's unimportant, I would have to say, well, maybe, but the shadows cast tell the TRUE story about the problem of what I call "size vs. distance"! I make extreme effort to try to make sure all my objects in my scenes are scaled at least relative to each other, but often that's a guessing game, at best. Even so, THAT I can live with, but if I could just have ONE thing which I knew was scaled properly relative to how Vue interprets the size of the "world", then I'd be happy. And you know, it's things like this which also carry over into how the objects are treated by not only light, but fog and haze as well--- VERY important when striving for reality in a scene. YES! Let's DEMAND this of them!
